1986 firebird 2.8l v6 issues.

So I was driving to work today and right as I pulled in my rpms dropped to about 100-50 and the car nearly died but bounced back up to 700 rpm. Then I noticed that the oil pressure was at 0. So I shut the engine off and popped the hood. the coolant was making a boiling noise and was very hot. i checked the oil and it was clean and full. Later I checked on the car during my break and there was a pool of coolant under the car and the oil pressure was fine. I got the car towed home and parked it. I'm not sure what the hell is going on and it's rather upsetting. Does anyone have any ideas what's going on?

P.S. also discovered that the E-Brake doesn't work

Common problem for V6s, but if you want help you'll have to post this in the V6 sub-forum.
