2008 overheating and coolant.

Hello gang longtime lurker just now signed up. I’m on my third gen 2 a 2008 with 270k. The other day I was driving home and hit something or something fell off the car and basically scraped down the whole drivers underside. well since then I have apparently developed a leak and or other problems. The car overheats, loses coolant, heat goes in and out. In the evenings the heat works fine but in the mornings it takes like 40 minutes and boom randomly at the same time it will come back in. I can see a puddle of coolant on the skid plate but it just seemed like it was coming out of the overflow. Overheat temp is 248° no higher than 251°. The 3 way valve next to the inverter sounds like it’s ducking air or not primed in essence. I only ask because I’ve been working 10’s so it’s dark when I get out of work and didn’t know if anyone has had the same issue and maybe could point me in the right direction!! Thanks ahead gang!!
