sorry about not replying sooner but i thought my post was just not getting a response. its still running but dies periodically if i dont lightly press my gas pedal when starting it these days. well i dont know about transmissions really but it has to be still working because my car hasnt stopped working entirely yet... unless i was misinformed about transmissions seizing up the engine when it breaks... i took a look underneathe. im missing a bolt again where the exhaust pipe that attaches to the lower intake manifold is... or at least thats what it looks like. could the fact that the motor mounts arent keeping the engine still anymore? can that have cause my exhaust leak to come back? also cv boots are fine but the boot on the arm where the powersteering fluid is supposed to go is completely torn open and thats where most of my powersteering fluid is going. now there's a new engine oil leak that is now leaking all the way down my oil pan. the leaks are getting works. the shakes are getting worse. and now my brake light on my dashboard stays lit (the light that says i have my emerg. brake on) which could be an old wire, bad connection, burnt fuse. im not sure but that i can fix im sure of it but im also leaking break fluid (from a wheel cylinder on my drum brake in the back last i checked) but i dont know how to drain my brake fluid. do you or anyone else have one of those skematics or whatever it's called that shows me where im supposed to disconnect the brake lines or if im supposed to do something to it before i drain it and what order i need to drain each line in and if i need to leave the cap to the reservoir off and do i need any kind of glue or clamp or grease to replace the cylinder...? do i need to just pump the break pedal to let any bubbles out? and whats with the deal that i cant clean out the trottle on my car or it will seize the engine? someone told me that...
