I just had my head gasket replace my water pump timing belt spark plug and Boots and my radiator replaced unfortunately I believe I had a mechanic that didn't know what he was doing now my car stalls out like the RPMs go to low when it idles it always starts right back up also my power steering just went out and it is leaking coolant like crazy and possibly oil I put a lot of money in this car and it's barely running any thoughts or suggestions

How many miles at the time of rebuild?
Any codes?
Air metering can cause low rev stall outs.
Power steering pumps can wear out. They're sensitive to incorrect fluid. There are teeny parts inside.
Where is it leaking coolant from?
What makes you think it is "possibly" leaking oil?
What was the attractive feature of the mechanic you selected?
A junkyard engine or a clean rebuilt one may have been the way to go. Best of luck.
