Hi...wondering if anyone can help..

I only passed my test a month ago and ALREADY iv found a lot wrong with my KA. First being the clutch going. Got that sorted now though.

CENTRAL LOCKING is broken on the drivers door. i can lock it on that side. but can't UNLOCK it. its working fine on the passengers door though. any ideas how to fix this?

ALSOOO...i keep finding patches of oil on the floor where i park my car. a suspected oil leak. but oil levels are fine. is this a major problem?

help pleeease!

What exactly do you mean by central locking? Not making fun, I just honestly have no idea what you are refering to.In regards to the leaks, I suggest you invest in some Simple Green, a spray bottle, some gloves, maybe a brush or old pieces of towel. Wash down the engine as best you can, around the valve cover and oil pan, try and get to the hoses for the power steering and the crossmember. Be wary of electrical connections and distributor though. A good thorough cleaning. Any bad seals or cracked hoses will become apparent pretty soon. Then be as consistent as you can in regards to parking. It will be easier to pinpoint mystery leaks by looking at where the stains are inregards to where you park. Black is usually oil, red will be power steering, random wet spots could be coolant or condensation from the a/c.
