Hi, it is a 1995 N plate escort 1.6 16v
Got MOT coming up and Ive noticed these issues in the last few weeks...
1. The oil light comes on when going round a corner

Have also started to hear the dreaded escort tick tick tick tick tick from the engine

But, I pull the dip stick out and it is covered in oil about 5 or 6 inches
2. When I steer the wheels right or left there is a *really* noticable creeking noise and its got worse
3. Going over bumps in the road makes the back end "knocking" noise
4. Can ya tighten the handbrake easyly? if so, how do ya do it
Thanks for any replys/help
