the severely worn cv joint my just be your prob. for your gas mileage, as your driving down the road when its cold it would try its hardest not to spin but u having the gas pedal floored in the morn. would force the motor to spin the cv. untill it warms up anuff to give more freely so its posable for you to get more speed out of it.
i would think you need to get a new cv. joint soon befor it lets go and has you sitting on the side of the road
bout the brake fluid leaking, might wasnt to jack up the car so a wheel is just off the ground and push it with your hand to see if it spins freely or if it gives gr8 resistance try this with all the wheels.
point being if the back wheels do not spin by hand your break or wheel bearing may be locking the wheel and help in giving you bad gas mileage
the front wheels could be wheel bearings cv. joints or a frozen break caliper (not likely)
if it looks like the break fluid is leaking out from under the fluid resivor, get some zip ties and put them round the the break fluid resivor and the pipe ( the plastic resivor hooks up to) and zip tie it tightly together, this will stop the leak.
you may want to test your amm to see if it is the one giving you the idle probs. search the posts ( -plug and play ) for the amm testings
and happy saaben
