I'm sure they taught you how to be detailed in school. I know I teach the kids in my classes that skill. Being 17 is no excuse for anything.

For instance;
Leaking what?
Leaking from where?
Cylinder misfire form which cylinder?
Any CELs (check engine light)?
When was the last time you did any kind of maintenance on the car? Tune up?

BTW. This is a public forum. Also it is a TECHNICAL forum. If you want help, you need to provide as many TECHNICAL details as you can.

Pics of the leak.
And you better get that cluster working.
How do you know it's misfiring?
Verify ignition and mechanical timing.

Timing. Check it. Plugs. Check them.

What ECU are you using to control the engine?

Is your check engine light on?

Just to verify it runs rough at idle only and goes away when you increase the throttle?
