My car is leaking oil and it's hard to tell where it's coming from. Also when I checked my antifreeze it was so low I could see my thermostat. I recently flushed my radiator and it came out really rusty. I'm not sure what the issue could be.

These items may be very expensive repairs.
If you are overheating or losing too much oil, a blown engine will wipe out your cars resale value. The way it is, you would be better off trading it in and let it be taken care of at a dealer cost, their cost.
It is difficult to clean and seal the engine properly with such high mileage in any inexpensive manner. For now, keep a close eye on the oil leak, keep the level correct. A power flush and additive may get the cooling system through the winter.
