Hi everyone I am new here and am also new to this car and this type of maintenance. I've always been able to change my own fluids and change tires but am really not that experienced with cars, but I really want to learn and figured this car would be a good car to learn from. I assume the leak is coming from the valve cover because when I bought the car that is what the owner said but not sure if he was leading me on or telling me the truth. As you can see from the video It smokes where the intake manifold is and there is clearly oil that is getting down there. It looks like its not leaking too bad but there is a leak for sure. On to the electrical issues driving at night The headlights came on and everything functioned but then i noticed the Instrument cluster lighting would end up going dead for a second and then come back to life. Don't know if it would be more wise to check the alternator first or maybe something in the instrument cluster itself first. As for the A/C the owner said it has been converted over to r134 but said there is a leak somewhere. I have no clue where or how to check what hoses would be leaking. Also any suggestions would be helpful with the problems or anything someone hears in the video. It sounded like it was running good but i'm not sure. Takes a minute for it to idle down. Appreciate the help thanks!
Also can anyone tell me what hose goes near the air intake you can see in my video apparently im missing one there don't know what it is and what it goes too.
