Hey all so I was able to get one side off today hahah the bolts where hell to get off…. But I’ve had a few issues

This car hasn’t been touched in 20yrs so I’m the first.

Ps I have oily hands while posting this

1: there’s a bolt that broke due to rust so I uploading a photo it and I’m not sure how to get it out as it was thought getting everything else out

2: the dip stick popped out but I don’t believe it’s broken so ? Is that going to be a problem?

3: I’m cleaning the left gasket on the left side of the steering wheel and I see so much literal dirt and shit from the 20yrs of neglect and I’m wondering if I should replace the whole part and how to clean it as I’m worried I’m just pushing the dirt in further into the “rod” section

I’m cleaning this while I have it removed and I’ve been avoiding dropping anything into the main engine….

I’m new to this.. and this car has done 300000km with one owner
