I got my car awhile ago, but couldn't drive it, I drove it home when I bought it, but then my dads been driving it lately, and now he got his own car, and I can finally drive the GSX.

My question is, when driving it today, I noticed that it pops out of gear sometimes, and getting into first is pretty hard sometimes. I'm still new at driving stick, but I've driven H22's, 240's, and civic's and I never really have to push "all" the way down on the clutch to shift. I was wondering if this was normal or if theres something wrong with my clutch. Also, when shifting, it doesnt feel very smooth at all, it feels like im grinding gears without that grinding noise, is that normal?

Also, my car seems to be leaking like 1-2 drips of oil, I'm not sure where its coming from, but I think its from the turbo, Whats wrong with it and how do I get it fixed?

I also think my oil pressure is low, because its not at the point, Its hard to explain, that little line?

Also, I've never driven a turbo car before so I'm not too sure on the oil pressure and boost. I'm getting a greddy turbo timer this friday.

Thanks in advance.
 
First off, you should try to explain your problems in a little more depth.

As far as your tranny, possibly syncro's are going out? Could also be clutch?

Oil leak? Clean the area thoroughly and start it back up. This will help determine location. If you say it looks like the turbo, it could just be one of the lines.

Pressure? Which mark? At what RPM?

Boost pressure? If it's stock you need a new gauge period.
