Engine Cooling problem
2000 Pontiac Sunfire Two Wheel Drive 145 miles

Well today I was driving and before I knew it I drove over a really nasty pothole. When I got home I notice the car was leaking reddish brown fluid and it also was smokey.I'm assuming that is the coolant and iam going to need to repair the radiater. How much should I expect to pay to fix this problem?

Reddish-brown liquid would be transmission fluid. If the coolant is reddish-brown than there would be more problems than just the leak. The pothole may have jarred loose a transmission cooler line which connects at the radiator.
