the radiator fluid and oil both leak out. and when I drove it 1000km from calgary to vancouver it kept overheating every 1-2 hours where i would keep feeling it with water. It also started have a faint knocking sound when i accelerate from a stop. Is this going to cost me alot to get fix and is it a bigger problem then just the leaks

wheres the oil leaking?

if its going in with antifreeze with oil or oil with antifreeze i would suspect a cracked block or blown headgasket.

youll need to do a compression test to verify what it is.

how hot is it running? how about excessive white exhaust?
