You have a wire issue on the door lock system a power wire is going to ground and draining the system. The fuse should have blown so that tells me the problem may only happen when the doors are closed. Turn off the dome light and start by leaving the fuse in and opening the drivers door and see if it drains in 4 hours. if not that is where the problem is. If not repeat with each door until all have been tested, If you still don't find the short you may check and see if there has been a recall for this problem. Otherwise take it to a shop that specializes in Auto electric. These problem can take months to find and it is will worth the cost to have a pro do it.
There should be a brake light switch under the drivers side mounted on the brake pedal it may have broke or come out of adjustment in any case you could push the switch in by hand and tape it as to not drain your battery until you can get a replacement part for it if indeed it needs to be replaced otherwise it may just need to be adjusted.
The oil pan is the bottom of the engine, it has a plug in it to drain the oil. Not to be confused with the transmission pan, sometimes they look a like. The drain plug is usually up and out of the way of being hit with a curb and knocked off. Hope this helps.
Do a bench test on the starter. Remove starter, hook up a ground cable to starter, and positive to two prongs on starter and it should spin. You can do this in vechile too but not suggested due to risk of injury. If it doesn't spin, probally a solenoid or the starter it self. Unlikely but possible.
if you can start it with a jump but battery doesn't hold a charge it sounds like you have a bad cell or two in your battery. Take it to your local Autozone and have it checked for free
If you're getting no power at all when you turn the key to start, try disconnecting the battery and then hook it back up. Chevy has had some problems with an ignition relay solenoid that's mounted under the driver's side dash. Disconnecting power could reset the switch....If that seems to be it, a replacement is around $250. at a chevy dlrshp.
