1996 oil and coolant leaks 900

Went away for the weekend -- sorry for the delay. I've been to two of the three ace Volvo mechanics locally, who believe it is the head gasket or worse, so we've decided to send it back and look for another 700 or an 800 model. It is a beautiful car, but most people here work on the 4 cylinders and have limited experience with the six, so getting it fixed is problemetic.
Incredibly, as soon as we decided to move on, it stopped guzzling antifreeze and the oil leak has slowed. I wondered if something in the cooling system was replaced and it wasn't filled up enough and needed another gallon. The oil leak was at its worst after a long road trip.
Thank you for all the help -- if I ever find out what the problem is, I'll post the answer.
