Engine Cooling problem
1998 Ford Windstar 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I have oil in the coolant but no coolant in oil. What could be the problem? I also have brake fluid pouring out of center of car behind a shroud of, fiberglass? Is it easy to repair the fuel line?
the oil in engine, I think is due to a oil cooler, is it trans oil or motor oil? I believe its a cooler just above the oil filter.

First, do you still have a good brake pedal? If so, chances are you're not leaking brake fluid but rather PS fluid. As far as the oil in the coolant, check the trans fluid to see if it is contaminated. The trans cooler in the radiator may be leaking into the coolant and you may need a new radiator. Don't wait on that because it could destroy the trans. What is wrong with the fuel line?

That will cause a leak. Most likely you had a soft pedal. Were you able to get the other problems fixed?
