there is so much I would like to do for my car it's a 98 honda civic ex with about 98,000 miles It has not given me too many problems thank god and i want to bring her in to my mechanic and get her checked out for example i never had her flushed i think she needs new rotors and her engine is so dirty and i need a wheel alignment oil change, power steering fluid and i think that is it ......... oh yeah she needs a new head gasket how much is that

 

What specific problems are you having with the car?

 

Well my steering wheel does not steer straight in kinda of like turns to the left side and I hear a noise when i turn my wheel that goes eeeeeeeeeeeee, and my head gasket well it looks like i need a new one cause i see oil residue and i think there's a crack in it , last time I did my breaks they told me my rotor on the passenger side was broken ?????? thanks for replying appreciate it

 

It sounds like you need to get a front end alignment. Though, tire inflation can also cause you to steer off to one side. The sound when turning the wheel could be your power steering pump either going out or low on fluid. Check the fluid level. If you open the hood, and look to the bottom right, it's the greyish cylinder with the red cap. There are markings on the outside to show where the fluid level should be.

You have a 13 year old car. Gaskets wear out. Oil leaks. It is possible that the head gasket is damaged, but there would be other symptoms. Oil in the coolant, coolant in the oil, overheating at times, lots of smoke while driving. The easiest way to find the leak is to get some degreaser and some rags and start scrubbing the block clean, then watch for new leaks. (Alternatively, you can pay a shop around $100 or so to detail your engine bay for you.)

A broken rotor is a serious issue. Did you have it replaced?

 

no I have not replaced the rotor but I can drive my car to and from where I have to be is that bad?
