looks like someone was already in there! Missing some bolts...
TIP: to drain coolant BELOW the level of the heads/intake, remove overflow tank cap, remove the tank from mount, then pour out what you can into catch container. Then unclamp and remove lower overflow tank hose (the large one) and hold it below the level of the heads while placing it into catch can (an empty coolant jug works well). Loosen/remove the air bleed screw. This will empty a large portion of top end coolant without making a mess.....

and why do you think I have an oil leak up there somewhere lol
I am going to bet you don't have the PCV mod done, that is why you have oil leak up top. Streatch a latex glove over the oil filler tube with the engine running, there should be slight suction, not pressure. Plugged pcv results in pressure.

pcv mod done I have been chasing oil leaks for awhile.
1st one oil pan missing bolts
had to replace oil pump anyway.
2nd power steering leaking.
3rd oil from top half passengers side behind alternator area.
head gaskets done and looks like they didn’t do all the things needed when putting gaskets in :-(

Well finally getting to this today due to family and work a weather.
and have removed the ac unit to the side and looking behind the alternator I see what looks like a lot of oil build up.
took a pic but still to dark in there.
so maybe just that valve cover gasket junk. If so great less to do lol if not I have all the stuff to keep going.
