You might well be on the hook for the balance. When you leased your vehicle you should have taken out "gap" insurance which would have covered this "gap" in coverage you have just described. Many times whoever leases (or sells) the vehicle will offer this coverage during the sales closing process. Double check your lease documents to determine if you're covered or not.

Absolutely. You have an obligation to report it to your insurance company and to cooperate with the settlement of the claim.
