Default Coolant leak, not starting

I just purchased a 2019 XC90 T6 Momentum at a Copart auction. Only visible damage was right front fender that lookied like it got to close to an 18wheelers tires and a headlight needing replaced. Car has 8900 miles and ran when it arrived at the auction. The shipper commented that he noticed a coolant leak and the car would start but not keep running, then when he tried again, it wouldn't start. I am hoping that these motors have a sensor that shuts things down if the coolant level gets low.
I'm not sure what cooling system component is behind the drivers fender that could have been knocked lose by impact at that fender. I know I should have waited until the car gets here, but I am nervously waiting and hoping it's something simple.

Thanks
Bill

Nope, there is no low coolant nannie that will leave you stranded in the bad part of town @ 3am - just because you have a slow leak and it got to that level.

8900 miles, still under full warranty then. Let the dealer fix it!

The car was purchased at a Co-part Auction - if the insurance Co totaled it - that would have totaled the Factory warranty also.

if it turned over before after sitting at there prob battery just runs down I'm not surprised about coolant leak with a hit like that you may find its a parts car.
