Transmission and (ATF) power steering fluid is red. You can start by checking both fluid levels. If one is low, that will narrow down what one is possibly leaking. If either fluid level gets too low, you should notice things like...power steering making a whining noise, or hard to turn steering wheel. Transmission may also make whining sound, and may not accelerate like it normally should. Sounds like a possible high pressure line has a leak, since it stops when engine is off. The only way to know for sure is to wear safety glasses and while the vehicle is running, try to safely identify where it is leaking from. Be careful of moving parts. Might be best to take it to a mechanic shop, or the dealer.

1st, is your foot on the brake? That's a safety feature, u must depress the brake pedal before u can shift out of park.

SOURCE: Won't shift out of park

Look to see if the brake lights work. If they do not come on when the brke pedal is depressed, the fuse may be blown. The brake electrical circuit also controls the shift interlock. You can take the vehicle out of park manually by removing the small square trim tab by the shifter, and pressing the button under it.

SOURCE: leaks oil under right side

Did you check your oil filter to see if the leak is coming from there. Sometimes when the old filter is removed the old o ring sticks to the block. When the new filter is put on it leaks from not getting a proper seal.

How do i open the hood of my 1998 toyota corrolla if the latch is broken

get under the front of the car, use a 10 mm socket with extention and unattach the latch assembly, you may have to loosen up the bumper to give yourself some more room, but you cant take it off completely, because there are 2 bolts right by the latch holding the bumper on, hope this helps and good luck

Blown tire hit the car

i would highly recommend getting it checked out by either a shop or someone you personally know and trust that has auto knowledge... the black oil leak is most likely engine oil... the light and thin aluminum manufacturers use now days can break under just the right conditions... heat and stress... when the tire piece went under your car it may have hit your oil pans(engine and transmission.. red oil) and caused either the pan gaskets to leak.. or maybe even the pans them selves to get cracks... hopefully it's just the gaskets... not too hard to fix and ALOT less costly then new pans... as for the light .. no clue what it's supposed to be...but good luck
