Default pop Quiz, a lot of issues...

ok, i have a 2000 trans am, manual, 120k...

driving to work today i noticed my windows went up slower than normal, and it has done this a couple times this week. i come out from work, car starts after a split second's hesitation. Im driving 2 or three miles down the road, and all my dash lights come on: abs inop, service engine/vehicle, trac off, etc, then m gauges flickered up and down then i lost power; no gauges, no stereo: car sputters and dies. After push start and no power again, sputters and dies again after trying to drive it. The coolant seems to be spraying up from somewhere; obviously a leak, towards the front drivers side engine, i noticed smoke from the driver side. now my brake lights and front driving/signal lights flash every 3-4 seconds... the car is possessed? sounds electrical... what directions should i be going towards? thanks!!

mods: bolt ons: headers, ram air, dyno tuned, ummm yea...

Fix the leak, check into electrical after things dry out.
