is leaking oil from the timing belt area and some
coolent also there is about 130,000 miles on it.

Answer
Hi Brian

You have a possible starter problem which is wornout due to the silonoid going bad or the fuel pressure is low and needs checking the best way to find that is do a diagnois test on it amnd that will trace the problem down,I dont think the coolant and oil has anything to do with your starting problem even though those 2 things are just minor to fix
