Sounds serious unless its a leak, must be expensive on oil, - Drive it till it explodes
>> 2. Drivers window mechanism is broken, so window has to stay closed.
Second hand parts form the breakers,.

fix it if you can find it, will be cheap

Ignore it carry on as usual

Dont bother, drive it till it goes bang

Wire a switch into the fuse, make it easier to cope with
