Well......to me it sounds like coolant is leaking from the places u described. There isnt really much we can do accept just tell u to look for exactly where its coming from. There is prolly a crack in the hose or something.

Re: my lt1 is leaking coolant everywhere

I just fixed a coolant leak similar to yours, it was leaking from the radiator cap. The previous owner installed a K-mart radiator cap and it obviously wasn't doing the trick so I installed a brand new GM cap and problem solved. Also, for the passenger side leak, there are heater hoses that run around that area so it could possibly be that. Give it a good inspection and hopefully you will find your leak/leaks.

Could be a cracked head or blown head gasket leaking at the back of the motor, but I would check hoses first.
