Many thanks if you can help.

The hand brake is adjustable. I don't have pics, get the RAVE manual. The leak, only you can tell where is coming from. You get a picture, then we will see.

There is a link to the RAVE in my signature. Get us the pic like leadfoot says and we will see if we can help. Clear liquid in the area of the power steering gearbox may indicate someone put the wrong fluid in the power steering system. If so we need to identify it and correct the problem. If not we need to find the leak and address the problem. Hang in there. If you are willing to work on her and put forth the effort everyone here can help you with the knowledge part.
