Hello Everyone,
I have a 2016 nissan versa sv. first there is a oil coming from between transmission and engine. i dont have money to fix it at the moment but is that gonna be okay if i add oil without drain the old one.

And im going to change my front brakes and calipers. Should i bleed brakes : Front (RH) brake → front (LH) brake → rear (RH) brake → rear
(LH) brake this order? And where can i find torque measurement for brake hose

First, make sure the oil is actually coming from the CVT or rear main seal and not coming down the back of the engine from a leaky valve cover. That's a lot more common than a rear main or torque converter seal.

The bleed order is RR -> LF -> LR -> RF. Bleed fittings are all 84 lb/in (7 lbs/ft). For the most part you can use the '14 manual here in Nico, there's very little difference from '14~'16:

If I could make a suggestion. When you've got two (or more) unrelated issues, it would be a good idea to create a separate thread for each one.

If it is the transmission then you can't let it get too low, more than about a quart down will start to cause damage. But don't overfill it either, for a CVT that's much worse. Even a pint over will eventually damage the belt and pulleys. Your best bet is to get an aftermarket stick, then do a spill-and-fill and refill it to the right level using the leveling plug. Then mark your new stick at what you know is the correct level, and that will let you keep an eye on it.
