Insurance SHOULD cover this. Have a shop check it out for damage. Insurance may pay for towing also. There could be damage to the Air Conditioning components and fans as well as other damage.

What are some reasons that my 07 nissan altima could be running hot

Faulty thermostat is the most likely one.
Failed Radiator Fan / Sensor (equally likely)
Low coolant level (in radiator as opposed to reservoir)

Faulty water pump. (less likely)

Clogged radiator. (less likely)

Very weak mixture. (even less likely)

While there are a variety of reasons your Nissan Altima is overheating, the most common 3 are a coolant leak (water pump, radiator, hose etc.), the radiator fan, or a failed thermostat.

Altima 3.5 overheating and now spit the water by radiator cap

Sounds like your thermostat may be stuck closed. When the car is at operating temperature, does warm air come out of the vents inside? If it's blowing cold air, then change your thermostat.

Radiator fluid leaked out on my car, but temperature gage has not ran hot. There are slits at the top of the radiator. I'm wondering if the slits are to hlep circulate flow of the air in the coo

you do not fill it to the top. if you lok at the side of the bottle, there is LOW mark HIGH mark. your level should be between those 2 marks. if you filled it all the way to the top, some will leak out when the car gets hot and then the level will go down when car cools off.

Have a pan located at the front of my 1999 nissan altima on the right side underneath of the car that is leaking fluid. what is it? it has a hole in the bottom of the pan cause my wife ran over something.

If the fluid is red, it's automatic transmission fluid. If it's anything from honey-colored to black, it's engine oil.

Check both via the dipsticks if you can't visually identify the fluid. Depending on how long it's been leaking, it should be evidenced by a low level of one or the other.

Engine overheating

You might be lucky and only need a new radiator cap. The seal may have gone bad. If not there may be a small crack in the plastic of the radiator. It also sounds like you may need a new valve cover gasket. It's hard to tell without seeing what you have going on. :) Hopefully this helps get you going in the right direction.
