88 v6 firebird problems..PLEASE HELP

hey everyone, i have an 88 firebird 2.8, and some stuff doesnt work. for example, my left turn signal just **** the bed. it stays solid and doesnt blink. my right one is fine however. some other problems are, how to hook up my aftermarket radio, i need help on how to hook up my horn, my brake lights dont work, but the light bulbs are good because when i flip up the headlights, they light up. also, it drips a bit of oil under the engine, near the tranny. some say is the distributor gasket. my dad says its the rear main seal. and also, my dome light doesnt work. ANY help on any of those topics, would be SO helpful. please help me PM me, reply to this thread, or email me at Firebirddude88@yahoo.com thanks!!

1 Does your 4 way flashers work?
2 There is a brake light switch on the pedal, see if there is power there, if so jumper it to see if the stop lights work.
3 The oil leak could be the dist. o ring, this engine doesn't use a gasket. Could be the intake gasket, oil pan gasket, or rear main seal.
4 Check for power/ground at the dome light. Check all fuses w/ a test light to see if they are powering up.
