put the car in the shop today and got a little good news. The bad oil leak was caused by the oil drain bolt being cross threaded at some time in the past. My mechanic had noticed the bad threads on it and replaced it, but the threads on the pan wer bad as well, they cleaned those up and put the new drain plug back in...bad oil leak fixed, no charge.

Now they are going to start working on the short in the harness..
