Beyond that, you could run some injector cleaner through it, perhaps a new fuel filter, perhaps change the air filter. More or less I would give it a o...

The other side is newer than this one. I replaced the whole driver's side control arm last year. So I'm guessing that side will be good still. As for the oil leak, well...

Front Stabilizer Shaft Assembly Bolt

My wife was out running some errands and she came home and said something was wrong with the car. Engine is fine, but when I move forward or back, I get a horrible grinding noise from the front right (passenger side) wheel. My first thought is that it's a wheel bearing. After I jacked up the car, I ...

Not sure if it's the same as the 1.6, but if it is, look down under the dash behind the radio on the driver's side. There is an OBDII connection there.

Thanks for the help.
If you can find a valve cover gasket for a Lanos at your local Autozone, you're very very lucky.
