hahah the fun continues, more problems
Well after driving it now a grand total of 273 miles (during these 273 miles I have replaced the t-stat, water pump, rad, timingbelt, alternator, valve cover gasket...) So I just got my car back from the shop and I go out to drive it to class and I notice a small puddle of oil on the ground. Anyways i drove it to class and when i got there I could see it driping on the ground off the drivers side corner of the block... I'm thinking somthing oil pump related but i'm not sure.... any ideas? Thank you.

Is your hydraulic reservoir low on fluid? The power steering pump is located on the driver side. Another weak point of this car is their power steering pump/rack/hose. The so called "BOMB" is also located on this side.

I cant believe this is happening...
So I go outside to check and see if the bomb is leaking, underneath my car, next to the oil puddle is a new coolant puddle... **** this is rediculous. Oh yea and on top of that the oil is now leaking from the rear of the engine as well... back to the shop it goes!!!

Oil leaking from the front and back??? Sound like the hydraulic hose from the pump to the rack is leaking, and / or the oil is leaking from the pump and traveling down along the hose.

Re: I cant believe this is happening...
Sounds like he has a blown out hydraulic pressure hose. It is the one from the pump to the rack and is available at NAPA for about $25.00. The worst case scenario may be the pump and the rack are both leaking.
You should let Steve Ankney look at it and diagnose the problem for you since he was kind enough to offer.
