Check drain plug and oil filter, tighten properly
SOURCE: oil leak--how bad is bad?
hi considering age of car? this oil dripping may be something simple like sump drain plug sealing washer or oil filter seeps? or a seal or gasket leak amongst just a few probabilities? but appreciate oil leaks are not wanted so may i offer this advice ? if you have access to local valeting depot? ask them if they could steam clean your engine and suspension beneath engine? this will not be too expensive and you will/may be able to discover source of leak hopefully? this may not necessarily be a leak of engine oil so check p/steer level too? if you do as suggested above ? and you update on this board as to what y /where leak is from? would be glad to advise further on remedy and if you can diy saving $$$$s in garage costs ? hope this helps and inspires you ? please keep updated ?

SOURCE: 99 sts overheating
Check for coolant flow at the Purge line,this is a common problem on the Northstar.
There is a small diameter hose coming from near the top of the coolant tank,this is the purge line.
With the engine idling,pull the purge line from the tank,if there is no coolant flow from this small hose,it is blocked and this will cause overheating.Also check for blockage at the nipple on the tank if the purge line is flowing coolant.
