idle can also be the idle solenoid as well ,and it helps where you are for seat covers as in Sydney you can have them made out at ingleburn

This will get you sorted on the oil leaks:

The stalling could be a few things but likely culprits are vacuum leaks or a blocked idle jet.
Also check the cutout solenoid on the side of the carb is working too.

What are you after for seat covers?
You mean actual new upholstry or just some slip on seat covers?
For new upholstry you would be better off to buy the snap on kits from TMI and the like overseas.

A local re upholsterer would charge a fortune to recover them.
