    Hey everyone,

    I have an '03 1st gen Regular Cab Tacoma that has been a semi-daily city truck for the last 20 years. While most of the essential maintenance was taken care I don't know the full extent of the care given to this truck. I'm doing all the work I can myself, I've done an oil change, swapped air and oil filters, replaced all three drive belts, and done a power steering flush. I have coolant for a flush and I want to replace all the spark plugs. I noticed a small, inconsistent oil leek while working under the truck that doesn't seem super serious right now but I want to take care of it so it doesn't become more of an issue. My goal it to get it into really good shape to take on mid to long distance road trips but I don't have much experience working on cars outside of what I've listed here and I'm wondering what the next steps might be!
