I got under the car and took some pics of my numerous leaks. I was hoping you guys could help me determine where they may be coming from and which seals to replace to stop them. If I took them a picture from a bad angle, please let me know, and I'll take more. I also have one picture of a missing bolt? I'm wondering how essential it is and where I might find a new one. Thanks.

Have you tried just cleaning up the bottom and looking after letting it run for a while?

The missing bolt may not actually be missing - it goes from the pan into the trans bell housing - from the way you took the photo it may actually be there.

The coolant leak could be from the radiator hose and leaking down, or it could be the tank seal is leaking - both are common.

The oil leak at the front of the engine could be the crank seal or the cam seals, but I'd guess the crank seal from where its wet.

If you haven't done the 100k service, I'd suggest that you do that and change all of those seals while you are in there. That would be a good starting point. Depending on the miles you have, changing rod bearings might be a very good idea as well.
