Something is draining your battery when the car is off. Are your headlights coming on on their own when the car is parked? Sometimes the spring becomes weak in the switch and the headlight flash comes on and stays on. Try parking the car with the switch in the high beam position, closest to the dashboard.

(Follow instructions on the box to make sure it's done right.)
Small oil leak coming from trans area
cant help you with the radio that sound like a wiring problem and thoose are hard to diagnose over a computer but the oil problem... if the oil is comming from the back of the engine were the trans meets then the rear main seal is leaking. You can do one of two things. Yo u can pull the trans and replace the seal on the engine or you can go to a parts store and get a bottle of "LUCAS" oil stop leak it will seal it up for you. and for the next 3 oil changes make sure you put a bottle in the oil. this will not harm the engine or any other componants in the car. i recomend "LUCAS" brand because its the only stop leak i've ever seen work so fast and i've never had anyh comebacks at my shop for this problem
