You have a coolant leak, likely a bad water pump. They are known to fail on these. That is your biggest problem, the oil and axles are fairly common as well and won't cause problems in the near future, that water pump however will leave you high and dry so I recommend getting a new water pump and T-Stat.

Ok so the leak dropping that is hardened is that part of the water pump ? .I have been driving the car often that leak doesn't look fresh looks old.

I cleaned off the excess oil leak you say oil leak and axle boot grease leak is common. I will have to keep an eye on both. I may replace the clamp with one of those aftermarket one you tighten by screw driver. Do you think oil leak is coming from rear main seal??? Thats the only place I can think of or could it be from oil filler tube? I have photo of the oil filler tube looks very wet and leaking. Fourth photo is photo of the oil filler tube as you can see tube is pretty wet.
Thanks for the reply
