Default CRANKSHAFT BOLT

I have been f***ing with that bolt for 2 hours. I have an oil leak that appears to be comming from behind the timing belt cover. Whatever it is blew out on my way home from work. I saw my oil light flashing so I pulled over at the next gas station. I checked my oil---BONE DRY. I payed gas station price 12.00 for 4 qts. of oil and 15 miles later when I got home ---BONE DRY. It was pissing from underneath. I had a basketball size puddle from 10 seconds of the car running. I haven't yet figured out where the leak is. The bolt is still on. I tried to use the allen wrench and screwdriver like the Haynes manual says, but everytime I get pressure on the bolt, the pulley slips. The allen wrench doesn't move and I actually have to back off the pulley to move the allen wrench. It's like something inside is slipping. Any other suggestions? I have to drive from Maine to Arizona next Tuesday and my car is torn apart right now. Lots of work and little time to do it. Any other help would be appreciated. I am also going to replace my A/C compressor while everything is off. Can anyone tell my where the three servicing valves are? I can obviously see the upper one in the front by the radiator, but I don't see the other two and I have to convert to 134a. Thanx guys and gals
