Default dirty coolant, dead battery and a leaking power steering. help!

Pretty simple, i have a 92 hb dx w/ a zc single cam non-v motor, @ 130,000km. After i bought a new car and stopped driving it, the battery always dies, so i have to boost it to start her up. Second problem, oil like coolant in the Coolant resovoir, how? From where? And anyone ever have problems with power steering leak? I've changed the pump, hoses, bracket, and it still leaks.. any suggestions, recommendations would be appreciated...

thanks in advance

um,How long does the car sit before you drive it?
Oil in any part of the coolant system is signs of a problem.Could be a head gasket going bad.
As for the power steering leak,maybe the rack itself.You changed everything else.

werd, im thinking a headgasket. when you fix that **** you will definatly want to do a complete cooling system flush to be safe.

Well now i dont drive the car at all, but even if i boost it up, drive for 5min or so, and let it sit there. Couple hours later it alread wont start unless boosted. Seems like somethings killing the battery, or i maybe have to drive it for more then 5 minutes since i start it up once a week.

Rack for power steering leak? What rack and where's it located???

As far as the coolant, could it be possible cause of Oil Pan Gasket leak? Or head gasket? I remember someone telling me i should get the Oil Pan gasket changed,. but didnt have money at the time.
