I still don't know what the total damage is, but will update the post when I find out.

Here is the video https://youtu.be/PXXqWSvtG-c

Best,

That does not sound good. If the damage is significant enough to warrant filing a claim, this would be covered under your auto insurance comprehensive coverage. I've known cars to be totaled by insurance for leaks that went undiscovered for a bit and did significant damage.
