Default Car is leaking oal on the left and by the cams its leaking antifreeze

title says it all. I haven't drove my car for more then 3 days. I have been working on it putting a new wire harness in he car. I finally finished that and now the car is leaking oil and antifreeze. The anti freeze is leaking by the cams and the oil is leaking horrible below the distributors. don't know where the leak is . anyone have any suggestions. I cant drive the car thats how bad the oil leak is. i put 3 courts in it and it was gone by the time i got it to my garage. about 7 miles. Car is overheating really bad.

The guys on this site bailed me out with the exact same oil problem. Oil looked like it was coming from below the dizzy (could be the dizzy o-ring) but no oil inside the dizzy (that means it's not the dizzy o-ring.) I was losing 2.5 - 3 qts/day. It was the vtec solenoid. Check it. There are 2 parts to it: between top and bottom half of the solenoid there is a seal, and between the bottom part and where it mounts to the engine there is a seal - check both.

As for the coolant - where is it coming from?

Hope it helps!
