i have a 93' dodge dakota with 154,000 miles on it, the trans leaks and slips and gets worse when its dry, the engine has an oil leak (I dont really know) so when I drive my oil pressure gauge fluctuates n I feel the car dragging while in drive with no gas peddle pressure, I'm pretty sure theres a radiator hose leak (found a lot of green anti-freeze one morening in the drive way), then finaly theres a power sterring leak which requiers steering fluid refils about every 500 miles or so. I just want to know what exactly am I looking for at an auto parts store or online to make my truck run like off-the-lot new. Can you help me?
