HELP!!! afew problems

so i just got a 87 legend off a buddy of mine with around 150 k on it.
there are afew issues with this car that i cannot figure out.
1) there is a coolant leak from the left side of the motor when the waterpump and therm and radiator hoses are all on the right?? im thinking maybe a head gasket or intake maifold gasket??
2) i have to jump this car all the time because the break lights are constantly on. there is no brake fluid in the car due to me changing the rotors/pads.
3) it seems to leak oil from a few places, like right under the cam cover.

ill have pics up tommarow but i really need to fix that brake light problem so i can drive it.

thanks in advance

You can go to a honda dealer and get the part (#46505-sa5-000)Pad ,Pedal Stop 4. $1.92 plus tax . It goes on the brake pedal up under the dash pull the lower panel off and follow the brake pedal up you will see it .There are a bunch of coolant lines just have to check it real good there are coolant lines under the car between the firewall and motor that go to the oil cooler could be leaking there . Clean the engine run it and find out where it's leaking oil probably valve cover or side cover gaskets . Hope This Helps !!!

thanks i checked that switch for the beaks and it had to be adjusted. i also found out the coolant is leaking from a small hole above the crankshaft pulley looks like theres supposed to be a bolt in there so im gunna try and find the right one. im also pretty sure the oil leak is on the side cover gasket and on the oil filter element.....what do i need to know about that oil filter thinger do they ususally leak like that?
