Hi, I have a oil and coolant leak. I took to Goodyear said it was a pinhole leak in the radiator and there is a leak coming from behind the timing cover.
Previously, I had a warning light that came on after a oil change that says it is emission control issue.

What I would like to know is if the warning light could be causing the two issues. They both started about the same time. Is there possibly any easy fix based on what I have described? It hasn't overheated, just seems a little rough so I stopped driving, especially with the leaking of fluids don't want to cause more damage.

As long as there is oil and coolant in the engine and system, I don't see how it would tie together with an emission problem. As far as the leaks, they sound somewhat easy to repair. As far as the light, have the computer scanned to determine what code is stored.
