Hi Lov..,

Best guess is.., there may be an "oil cooler" mounted in front of the radiator, behind the grill. The hose to the cooler may have come off or split.

Then there's the power steering hoses. Cut or split.., they can shoot some serious oil..!!

The hinges on the hood need to be lubed from time to time.

Regarding your grill..., have no clue as to where it went...

Ya I ripped it off. (The grill) biggest problem is the hood is stuck

How funny..., I was being facetious 'bout the grill..... ^_^ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

Now.., what exactly does "stuck" mean as to your hood..? 

You said... "it won't open or shut"..!   & "dent in the middle"..!

Does this mean it was kinked from forcing it up..?  (i.e. no longer held with the latch & safety latch.)

There's hinges & assist springs back in there.  Something could be broken or jammed with something. (best guess)
