I know it may sound totally outrageous, but... replace the leaking radiator?
Ford had a lot of trouble with some models in the Aerostar series. I dont know if yours is one of them. If you know the radiator is a problem, take it out and have it repaired or replace it.
The leak down the backside of the engine could be a Welch (freeze) plug that has rusted through, a leaking hose, a leaky gasket, etc. Often you can find these easily with a telescoping mirror (that you can buy at an auto parts place for a couple of bucks). Once you locallize the leak it will be a lot easier to decide how to handle it.
