Q: Need help determining replacement parts
My alternator belt came off. A few other things I might need, but I am not sure of: master cylinder, rack and pinion steering, and a valve cover. I also have an oil leak, but I am not sure where it is. I would appreciate any help in determining what I need to have done.
