Maybe you guys can help me diagnose my problem.

Filled up the radiator with water, topped it off, didn't take much, then I went to the carwash to wash all the shit off from the "incident". I start spraying away and this shit is not coming off. Antifreeze should come off no problem with hot water. It is darker than antifreeze, so I'm wondering if it is A) oil from the headgasket, or B) oil from the tranny.

The lower radiator hose has signs of leakage, gross green crusty stuff around the end of the hose, but when I'm watching underneith there, I can't see it spraying anywhere! I talked to my dad, told him with the extra water in the antifreeze mixture the car starts to overheat fairly quickly with very little throttle, he thinks that could be a blown headgasket. (Probably should change that anyway) What I don't understand, if the headgasket blew, how would it get clear the hell over everything? If it is antifreeze, why won't it wash off.

Also, this shit must have gotten on the belts. When I first noticed the problem, the belts squeeked like a motherF. Here is the weird part about the belts...when the car is at idle there are no squeeks or anything, but when my RPMs get over 1K the belts squeek when the car is first started and the battery and parking break lights come on. WTF As soon as the car goes back down to idle the 2 lights go back out. I don't get

To top it all off, whatever sprayed all over, either broke my boost controller knob, or melted 1/2 of it off...very strange.

If you guys have any suggestions, please let me know. I am baffled on this one and could really use your help.
