Hi
Perhaps the first thing you should do is to find out where the leaks are coming from.
Could it be a slack or punctured hose, or maybe a water jacket has rusted?
Or is the oil coming from a leaky gasket?
Best thing is to get the engine properly cleaned down and observe for the leaks and drips. That will give you an idea of what to do next. Do not go thinking the extreme when it may be a simple problem.

well its it your engine's down so for overhauling a chevies engine the cost is enough.........well a bit less but not more than 500$.........well in engine overhauling the pistons and its rings has to be changed and grinding of the head and boring of the cylinders occures well all of this + labour may cost u this much........well u should sell the car and try a new one or an oldy goldy one hehe.
