Finally got my car on road. Came across major problems and really scared 
Firstly, there is a leak here: This is the headgasket?
If so what the hell do I go from here as wehn I put my finger to remove the liquid, more oozes out which is not good?
Idle issues, I start it up and it stays on say 800 and stutters and goes back up a little, Firstly there was a vacuum leak on the brake pipe where the hose comes off it to wherever it goes ( I think the air tank vent canister or something ) so we put a screw in and blocked it off. Then a vacuum leak was on the gasket on the powercap so we made a new one to sort it, when we unplugged maf it was fine, I had another maf plugged that in and it kind of was better. I really doubt its the maf as I have a feeling I have a vacuum leak somewhere but Don't know where it is.
Another issue, I can smell a really clutchy burning rubbery smell, given me a headache and smells the whole street out. Could this be the fact that when I set off it feels like I'm in 3rd gear? I need to adjust gear linkage again.
I want to cry seriously need help.
