You are doing a safety check for the driveability of the vehicle. If it isn't safe, it isn't safe and needs to be repaired. Chances are most everything will be alright but you gotta look at most of the major stuff and see what is going on. You definitely want to figure out what the fluid leak in the rear is. See if the master cylinder is full.
Well, that much I know. The master is full and the brakes build pressure. I know this much because we rolled the car out of the garage, and onto the street. Tested the brakes then. This was only two months ago. As for rotted suspension components, I don't know what I'll do. If they clunk and what not, I'll likely take them to get inspected and replaced if necessary at a front end shop. You definitely bring up a good point about hte safety of the vehicle.

Mike- Good call on the reminder to pick up some Seafoam. Need half a can for my Saturn as well.
