Is my car totaled?
You keep calling me bro... I'm a lady! Woman... Chick... Lol
Brittany, I agree with tecman, and that is probably the radiator and/or the tubing that got damaged causing the fluid leak. The question is was the engine still running and overheated, possibly incurring engine damage...
Another question is how smooth is opening the doors? Like before or it feels different (tighter)? If the same as before the accident chances are no structural damage here.
If both the above check out positively, damage would appear to be cosmetic but will still be pricey (hood, bumper, lights, radiator...)

Sooooo sorry lol lol.. But can you get more pics so we can really see. Like under the hood if possible or another pic of the sides. Looking at it the driver fender looks good so can be minor.. Can is the key word with fingers crossed.. :
Welcome to CL. Sorry it couldn't be on better terms. I don't see it, but was there air bag deployment? Honestly just from a quick view looks like all you need are new Hood, bumper, grill and headlight. The question of what's under there ie if any frame damage would call for Totalling the car. This looks mostly cosmetic to me but again that's just looking at a picture. Adjuster and Body Shop will let you know more.

Depending on year and value it could be totaled. Like others have mentioned it could have frame damage that we cant see just from one pic. I know with older cars that would of been totaled for sure. Lol But yours is newer so it can be saved. 
Let us know what happens best wishes and hopefully your ok
