Default 97 CL Questions

My family has had this car for about 12 years now and it just got passed down to me. Now all of a sudden it deside to mess up. So i have a few questions.

1. I recently discovered that there is brake fluid leaking from the rear right hand side right behind the tire. I just want to know if thiss is a break line or the caliper or what? And what do i need to fix it?

2. While i am driving relax, just cruising there is this noise like something is loose coming from the front of the car. it sounds like ratling. Then when i let go of the gas it goes away but comes back as soon as i give it gas again. It also happens a little bit when i apply the brakes. So i want to know what that crazy noise is.

3. When my car isnt moving and i turn the wheel right and left is squeeks alot. Does anyone know what that is?

4. I am looking to do a k24 swap and i want to know what would i need to do that and if anyone is selling a k24?

Any Comments/Answers/ and Help will be GREATLY appriciated. Thank You!

Check your ball joints. Jack the car up and grab the front wheels at the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock position and try to shake it. If there's play, that means the ball joints are bad.

The squeeking sound leads me to believe the ball joints are probably bad.

Not sure about the brake fluid leak. That is something you will need to take the wheel off and look for. The braking power isn't affected at all? No soft pedal feel?

K24 swap is still in its infancy stages. Not a direct swap by any means, that for sure.

the braking power is affected a little bit. The pedal is soft until i apply a certin amount of pressure. But the braking is pretty normal but not like it should be at all.

No idea. Your question is unspecific. take off the wheel and see where its leaking from.
