There are a few potential problems that could cause antifreeze to leak from the front of a 1987 300D Turbo Mercedes Benz after hitting a bump in the road:

1. Damaged Radiator: The radiator is responsible for cooling the engine's coolant. If the radiator is damaged, it can leak coolant. Inspect the radiator for any cracks or holes. If the radiator is damaged, it will need to be replaced.

2. Loose Radiator Hoses: The radiator hoses connect the radiator to the engine. If a radiator hose is loose, it can leak coolant. Inspect the radiator hoses for any loose connections. If a radiator hose is loose, it will need to be tightened or replaced.

3. Damaged Water Pump: The water pump circulates the coolant through the engine. If the water pump is damaged, it can leak coolant. Inspect the water pump for any signs of damage. If the water pump is damaged, it will need to be replaced.

4. Damaged Thermostat: The thermostat regulates the flow of coolant through the engine. If the thermostat is damaged, it can cause the engine to overheat and leak coolant. Inspect the thermostat for any signs of damage. If the thermostat is damaged, it will need to be replaced.

In addition to these potential problems, there are also a few other things that you can check:

* Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir. If the coolant level is low, add more coolant.

* Check the coolant for any signs of contamination, such as oil or dirt. If the coolant is contaminated, it will need to be flushed and replaced.

* Check the radiator cap for any signs of damage. If the radiator cap is damaged, it will need to be replaced.

If you are unable to find the source of the coolant leak, you should take the car to a qualified mechanic for diagnosis and repair.
