I was in a car accident where they had to replace the radiator support. It sat broken for over 2 weeks and was driven a few times that way is it possible that it could have caused a crack in the lower radiator due to lack of support?

if the radiator support was damaged then it is possible that the radiator itself was also damaged. the crack may have not been visible but once pressure of the cooling system hit the crack it would have caused it to leak.
