My car runs fine when its cold. But, once it gets a chance to warm up, the engine basically shuts off. It surges before it completely dies. Now, when it dies I can smell oil. It also is leaking coollant, but it's not overheating. Could this be the water pump?

Can you tell me aprox where the coolant is leaking? Also, does the car start right back up? Has the check engine light come on? Finally, have you checked fuel pump pressure?
