Welcome to TGO.

Speedo: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/inte...eedo-woes.html

Air leak: Weather stripping?

Hanging: http://www.top-downsolutions.com/pro...products_id=38

HVAC: Check the motor.

Re: a couple of problems

Just like James said, first off welcome. Second you need to go after 1 thing at a time here. First off stop the oil leak, thats a fire that is about to happen, so clean it up and look for were the oil is leaking from then you can stop that. As for the doors the car is about 23 years old, so it is more tham likely going to need new hinge bushings it stop the sag in them and new door weather seals. Those are were I would start. As for the other things, just go to the threads james told you abut. These boards have a ton of info all you will have to do is search for them. You will find it.

That does suck. It looks like the trans oil pump is leaking. As well as the tailshaft seal and the seal at were the drive shaft goes in. But for sure the pump seal.
