The automatic transmission blew and replaced with a manual about 3 years ago.
CV Joints go easily, but are easy to replace.
Dash tachometer flicks and flinches when idle-ling.
Constant wet engine bay, oil leak is somewhere.

Goes like a train when its warmed up.
Pulling power of a bull.

Easy to work with with the engine being the east-west type.
Retreads will do you fine on this car.
The reason you have an oil leak is because on the rocker cover gasket there is a dead square edge. these edges are hard to seal, the same thing happened in my car, I took the gasket off, cleaned it and the grooves it sits, then added a small amount of silicon on the gasket, I have had no problems since, no oil leaks anywhere!
