What year, make, model and engine are you working on? What kind of problems are you having?

Haha!
I have a Toyota Camry XLE 3.0L V6. The engine is a 1MZ-FE. I am not having any real problems with it, aside from a minor oil leak (around a quart a year). I am mainly concerned with preventative maintenance and being able to fix things as they may arise. I have a CV boot that just failed and I will be having the axle replaced within the month, but it would be nice to be able to do that myself one day.
It's not necessarily even the money that's the factor (though it is), it's more of feeling unarmed when it comes to dealing with automobiles, a feeling I have never really felt before in my life and don't particularly enjoy. One of the things I have taken pride in with regard to my medical career is my ability to handle whatever patient may come my way. This is the way I want to feel with cars as well.
