So I hit a deer last night, and drove home afterward. But this morning when I started my car it starting smoking a white smoke and the engine was overheating. I think it is a radiator related issue, but I am not exactly sure which part needs to be repaired/replaced. I think it has something to do with the two broken spouts but I am not an expert so I could not be one hundred percent sure.

Yes. That is the thermostat bypass tube. Clearly those lines need to be attached to the housing.

So you will need to replace that plastic part. I attached the process below that we need to follow in order to replace this.

Also, here is a guide that helps with overheating issues if you or others need this:

Let us know if you need other info. Thanks
