Could be physical damage, and this in turn could possibly affect the high pressure input (lower fitting) or the lower pressure output (upper fitting) but you can't really know unless it's disassembled. Could just be that the impact loosened up a fitting underneath and air seeped in. That's the tricky thing about air in the system:  there might not be a leak but it doesn't preclude the possibility of a pinhole air leak somewhere. If something solid beneath the car like a log or stone smacked a hardline fitting good enough, yea.</p></blockquote><p></p>
