losing coolant and oil leak.... help! 850

hallo...

over the past three days (each day), i've needed to replenish the reservoir with coolant after driving less than five miles per day... the depletion is catastrophic, and i'm not finding much green stuff on the drive...

ohk, so i go out to see if i can find the fins loose inside the fan, and well, they do give slightly, so i'm thinking maybe the water pump? (something to rule out from hoses, cylinder, gaskets, dog knows what else)... i have lots of time so i read these forms...

and... suprise.... in addition to the loss of coolant, now there's a large pool of oil in the drive... source seems to be coming from the area of the oil filter.... wouldn't drip while i watched, you know?

does anyone have any ideas, please? i wanted to throw cans at the car... the ones i'm using to hold down paper under it to track leak location(s), amounts, colours, et cetera...

thanks in advance... everyone here has been wonderful who has responded in the past to my minor problems...

best,
belle
