Default 97 civic lx. Driver but needs work $1,500 or trade?

Here's the deal, put a lot of time into this car and im just done messing with it. suspension was just done and has a small clunk not sure where its coming from. makes the noise when starting out in first gear. The motor just started clattering and I have had enough. I think it may be the input shaft bearing but to be honest I'm not sure. The car is 100% driveable and can be driven daily, motor is just making noise.

*1997 civic lx.
18x,xxx miles

THE BAD

-the car has a rebuilt title
-leaking oil between engine and trans(which is also why i think it's the input shaft bearing)
-the car is rattle canned flat tan. paint is flaking and tiger stripped. driver's fender sticker bombed. The car has dent's dings and rust. rust isn't very bad though
-interior is in ok condition
-NO ac, power steering, or cruise.

The Good

*Brand new windshield

*New front brakes(rotors and pads)

*all four shocks are brand new

*new energy suspension bushings in front upper and lower control arms, shock mounts, and energy suspension tie rod boots

*all new suspension hardware

*new no name rear lca

*brand new exhaust from the header back

*99-00 si front end conversion. hood is in bad shape and bare metal

I can't think of anything else at the moment if I do I will update this post. I want this gone asap. $1,500 firm firm firm, or trade for a need nothing daily driver.

You can call or text me anytime at 262-661-3950.

^^ you are correct sir. meant to say that I think the leak is coming from the input shaft seal and the rattle is coming from the input shaft bearing. But upon further inspection I believe that its leaking from the seal where the shift linkage enters the transmission.
