im having a few poblems and i'm wondering if they all might be connected:\r\n
my grandmother gave me this car, she bought it brand new in '97 and has been the only owner besides myself. Just recently she had a diagnostic test ran on it and nothing was wrong. She gives me the car and now, a month later, all these problems start happening.

-first the power steering fluid starts leaking everywhere
-then it begins to overheat when idle
-after that, it overheats just whenever its driven
-lastly, and most importantly my engine is ROCKING. That cant be good.

can you please tell me if a motor mount being broken has anything to do with the engine rocking, and if that affects all the other parts in the car? Thank you!

Hi taress
No these probs are not related. Power steering has to be a power steering pump or a rack and pinion these are the worst case.
It could be just a power steering hose leaking

overheat at idle. This could be a thermostat failing pretty minor repair

overheat while driveing this could be head gasket thermostat water pump low coolant cooling fans not working. Low on coolant.
