Default 1992 Lexus Sc400 Mechanical issues *Help*

So i recently bought a Sc400 For my first car. It has a small Oil Leak where i'm yet to find out from a few senors need to be replaced the Knock and and O2. Mainly the car isnt going the speed it should i guess acceleration problems... I guess i'm asking whats my best course of action to nip it in the butt are they problems self fixable or should i take it to a mechanic and how much would a mechanic run me for labor.

From what I have gathered, Seafoam may address the sluggish acceleration, although I haven't personally used it yet. CL members and others swear by it. Try that and then replace the sensors. These links may be helpful as well. Good luck and please share your discoveries/results.

Seafoam mainly just collects on valve deposits and when you start the car up it burns them off. You might see a very minor increase in power and gas milage.
