Was there a fluid breach at all from the wreck?

I think just windshield fluids..
the accident was a front end collision, mainly passenger front corner headlight, bumper and door. They replaced the radiator, condenser, a lot of other things which final bill was $6k for repairs

I could argue those deposits look like they're heat created. Perhaps the vehicle was driven, or even ran at idle with no coolant in the radiator. Without your knowledge?

i will have the dealership take a look tomorrow, because right now I've been in an accident (not my fault), and after the repairs are done, i literally drove off the repair lot and I have this incident which is non collision related. So it won't be covered by the other parties insurance. But logically it doesn't make sense but facts point out to poor maintenance which doesn't make sense because I do oil changes at 5-7k miles. Thank you for wisdom. Hopefully that is the case. Or im s.o.l

also, they did change my radiator, my condenser, trans cooler as well. Can this link to my engine being seized? If one of those items was bad?

Highly unlikely.
