Good Morning...The leaks might well be from no use over this long period of time. The old girl should have a lube job and oil change for the engine and transmission, and a cooling system flush and reverse flush, at the minimum. Gaskets shrink when they dry out and that makes bolts like the one on the oil pan loose...while she is up on the rack...walk, wipe and examine her. Flush the break lines and master cylinder...drive her at low speeds, 40 and under for a couple of hundred miles over the next month and re-examine...change the oils again...Oh and most carefully examine the tires if they are as old as the restoration...These are great machines...you should have along and happy relationship!
