What is your question?
Anti-freeze had leaked onto the ground & then shortly afterwards the car started running hot. The mechanic said that a nut/bolt that holds the compressor & AC intact has worked its way loose & now is lodged into my radiator. Does this sound right? This summer I had a mechanic to recharge my AC System & could something that he did or failed to do have caused this problem? Thanks

A RECHARGE SHOULD NOT CAUSE THIS ISSUE,BUT YES ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. DO YOU NOT TRUST THIS MECH?IF SO TRY ANOTHER SHOP
1.Drain out your radiator remove it and try to shake out the bolt. 2.How about your water pump. Is that leaking through the peep hole? bolt may have worked its way through the water system and is lodged somewhere? also your thermostat is it leaking there? A clogged one will cause it to run hot. Got to pinpoint where the antifreeze is coming from.
I think that bolt has probably punched a hole in the radiator. Don't think it is inside of the radiator.
so you need to pull it regardless.
