Bought a 94 civic that is h22a swapped

So I bought this car for 700 dollars. It runs but has lots of blowby through valve cover breather. (Has a filter on it I hear they are bad) what fixes should I entertain for this? An oil catch can?

There is an exhaust leak, but that's probably just a shotty weld job on the exhaust.

the brake fluid looks really cloudy and dirty, almost like muddy water But cloudier

The suspension failed, but it's probably just because the minimmum ride height rule. I'll have to delve deeper into it when I'm not working 7 days a week. OH, This is an h22a from a 91 prelude.

thoughts, advice? Thank You! This is my first post here.

Does it have a PCV valve? Here's a search: https://www.google.com/search?q=h22a...&bih=623&dpr=1

Inspect and replace manifold if needed. Could be donut gasket where bottom of manifold meets exhaust pipe. Spray soap water on exhaust gasket areas and look for bubbling while engine is running.

Bleed all four wheels and add new brake fluid

Pretty sure OEM stock strut/shocks are KYB
