Ummm, tow it. You don't want to limp in with it. a $2000.00 repair might end up being a 15K engine rebuild. If you are mechanically inclined, which it seems like you are. Take some time to rip the motor apart and get to that valley pan. Then from there you can kill the coolant problem and check to see where the oil is coming from. If the oil is coming from the rear main seal as weasel suggested, then you know the tranny needs to be dropped and then can take it to the shop. That bill might be a $900 to a $1k, but atleast it saves you another $1000 to $1500 by doing the valley pan yourself. Just my $.02
