Default 1991 CRX with B18b swap

hey guys new here and i got a 91 crx with a B18B LS swap the car itself has about 97000 miles and the motor has about 60000 it has a custom built transmission with shorter gears, rear battery conversion, D&H racing custom reworked manifold with a D&H 75mm throttle body, a no name header leading to a custom exhaust, rear roll cage, 13inch fold down tv with a ps2, tenzo R reclineable racing seats (need brackets), no name adjustable coilovers.

got the car for a good price, but i think its shot because I found metal shavings in the oil a week or so ago.

so the car has been sitting since and today when i went to look at it there was coolant all over the floor, so i guess it all leaked out.

Any ideas about coolant or metal?

thanks guys!

Fold down tv in a car with no back seats? Did you mean in-dash?

No idea about the metal...pics?

Coolant...maybe a busted hose/radiator from cold temps/bad coolant-water mix?

The T.V. is in the front right in front of the mirror. The guy before me put this in, I haven't ever even used it.

I hope it was just a hose because it has been EXTREMELY cold here recently.

As for the metal shavings I have no pics at the moment but when I pulled the dipstick out and let the oil run down you can see little metal.

Go out and fill the radiator and hope you see antifreeze leaking from a hose. If nothing happens, you might have some bad issues...

Coolant leaks + shavings in oil = no fun.
