I have a pretty bad oil leak on my 1988 toyota pichup 22r. I can not afford to take it to a shop so I am trying to fix it myself. I have to add 2 quartz of oil, every two weeks. Also, I have to add fluid to my clutch resovoir once a week. Can anybody walk me through or give me a wesite on how to go about fixing it?

timing cover is warn through I bet the guides are broken and it makes a knocking sound! most common problem. You will need a timing kit and a cover.

SOURCE: brake fluid leaking alot and now noticed fluid from rear tires

if your car has rear drum then the wheel cylinders could be leaking and in need of replacement. If it has rear disc brakes then it could be leaking fluid where the brake hose goes into the caliper or the brake hose my be worn or have a hole in it. Or it could be a a brake line. You should have it checked because you don't want air getting into the braking system.

If you are leaking fluid from the clutch master cylinder then you have air in the system. You could try and bleed the air out of the clutch slave cylinder to get the gears but it would not last. The only way is to replace the defective master cylinder, replace all of the fluid and bleed out the air through the slave cylinder.

You might check the PCV valve and grommet,I'm assuming it's EFI,if the valve isn't sealed tight it will cause the motor die at lower RPM's

SOURCE: whining in the engine

I had the same whining noise, but after a minute or two it would go away. It turned out to be my water pump. It wouldnt turn first thing in the morning and the belt was just running through the pulley, (causing the whining noise). This may not be your problem, but it is easy to check. Just pop your hood and see if the fan is turning.
