Default serious overheating problem, where do i start?

alright, so i recently aquired a 91 DX hatch, and of course with luck as good as mine, the day after purchasing it, i smashed a deer up the road from my house. no cosmetic damage to the body, pretty much took the entire deer under my front passenger side wheel. since then, the car is constantly overheating, and i cant find a leak from anywhere. anyone have any suggestions?

you can check your heater core or check to see if you bent the fins on the radiator

i would guess that there is a hair line crack in the radiator somewhere and it only leaks when the engine is running ( built up pressure) id replace the radiator and see if that takes care of your problem. does the engine get low on coolent....

Did you check the coolant levels? If full, is the fan operating?
