Mulitiple problems

Going down the road the other day, my 1995 truck died when I turned the corner. Unable to get it cranked. Towed it to a shop, found out it was the igition module. Plus I have an oil leak from the plug and a leak from the radiator. Gonna cost me $332.00 for the igition module and a distibutor. Got any ideas on the other problems.
Thanks,
David

Wow. I got a new ignition module for 15 dollars, new. I can't see those two parts costing that much... could you tell me about the truck?

That price sounds about right. Shop labor is expensive, i work at an import new car dealer and the labor rate with tax is approaching $100 an hour. For the plug leak (i'm assuming oil drain plug), depending on the damage you can get by for quite awhile with a helicoil, or an oversized drain plug, but the correct permanent fix would be a new pan.
