Idles high or idles high at slowing down what could this be?

First, is the coolant level full? What you described with the heater sounds like a low coolant issue. Let me know.

Now for the leak, does it smell like coolant? Have you had to add coolant or PS fluid?

As far as the idle, has the check engine light come on? Also, check for vacuum leaks.

Let me know what you find.
