Hey everyone. I'm a newbie. Purchased my first yota, 86' 4runner. 196XXX miles of life so far. Changed oil, noticed some major leaks, replaced fuel pressure regulator, troubleshooting the back window issue. She was running alright so took her on her fist voyage couple weeks ago, drove 100+ hwy miles. Lost most oil upon reaching destination. She sat for 4 days, started every now and then. Filled her up again, began journey home, stopped halfway for fuel, added a qt of oil, made it almost all the way home.
Got off hwy, radiator blew up at stop sign! Got a tow, swapped out rad. Noticed exhaust crack, sealed it with some not so fancy "fix it" goop to make sure I at least had back pressure. Now there's no idle at all. Turns over only when the petal is being pushed. I know I have some cleaning to do because of the oil mess. Any other tips or tricks? This is my only vehicle. Need to fix it asap.
