Default 1989 Chevy s10 4.3 blazer PLEASE HELP

Ok so, I have a 1989 blazer as previously stated I just got it back into running condition after it had been sitting in my drive way for about 8 years. It's my first car and I've loved this car for ages. I had been driving it for a while now and everything seemed fine but a couple days ago I was drivin and the radiator started to steam from the drivers side. I had been having a problem with my coolant disappearing. I would put it in one day an it would be gone in the next. I know that I need to replace the radiator but I realized there's a bit of a leak on the same side. It's somewhat brown so I was wondering what else might be wrong with it? Please help I would love to keep this car in proper condition

Check your oil, I mean, the radiator could just need to be flushed, sitting that long with the same coolant will make it discolored. But check the oil and make sure its not milky, if it is, you need to replace your intake gaskets.
