Think i will give AK a big job becos of the coolant leak 
Might need to replace the head gasket like other members said in the link.
will also change the engine oil and tranny gear at this service aswell.
Plus replacing the battary cables aswell (Due to the battary drain!)
DAMN!

blown head gasket or warpped head is very easy to tell. you will see a lot of white exhaust smoke when you rev the engine before the engine is warmed up. I hope its not this, otherwise its going to be expensive but will be a good excuse for you to get an lci and then you get the proper ipod connection.
good luck
