Default 1997 A4 Quattro 2.8 Problems galore!!!

I bought my A4 privately about a year ago since then I have replaced Timing belts,a wheel bearing,tires, Brakes, ignition switch(recall),sunroof,headlight washer tubing,thermostat,engine sensors,check engine light constantly on coming back as o2 sensor warning,the stock cd changer has a skip every 30 seconds roughly, the catyltic converters are toast the heater core needs replacing and I just recently discoverd a coolant leak from an unknown area that drained the coolant(where its coming from is not the heater core) how much i dont know, but there is nothing in the overflow. I love the car enough to keep pumping dollars into it what should i do about the coolant problem and am I the only one with all these problems???!!!

Wow that is a crap ton of problems. I haven't really had anything major with mine but fingers crossed.

As asked above, where is the coolant falling down to and how much of it is leaking out on a regular basis? My first guess would be a loose hose/clamp somewhere.
