Is it the wheel rims or the ballbearings in it that cause the sound?

I just had a full 120,000 mile tuneup and timing belt replaced about 10 days ago. Two days later I noticed the smell of gas and a day after that I noticed my car was leaking about a half quart of oil per day. I took my car to the nearest Volvo mechanic, which is not the same dealership I did the service at (Bill Kidd's Volvo in Timonium, MD). The new Volvo mechanic (Scandinavian Auto in Rockville, MD) is claiming I need a new fuel pump and will not be able to see why my oil is leaking until they do this service for safety reasons. When I had the tuneup done at Bill Kidd's, they had torn the fuel line (I believe) and replaced it. Now I am stuck here as to what I should do. Can someone please help me out? Of course, I believe that Bill Kidd's must be responsible for the improper installation of some parts for all of this to happen within two days of my getting the car back! I have invested over $2,000 in repairs, so I just need to figure out what is reasonable for this work.

1987 Nissan Pathfinder, lacks power. When it gets to about 45 mph, the engine "shudders" and will backfire until I get to about 50-55. Then it will accelerate slowly.

My car has HC's (hydrocarbons) that are slighty beyond the max 100:116 while in idle, but they didnt warm up my car and the auto shop was right across the street from my apartment in the morning when I took it. I think warming it up prior to the smog check should pass it. Any other ideas?

In a Diesel truck at work, the torque is so intense that the engine can break the driveshaft. Its a Kensworth- a big truck for hauling cargo for deliveries of lumber, but not as big as an 18 wheeler

It goes too long causing the starter to grind while the engine is running. The shop I got it installed at is no longer in business and I have no paperwork anylonger. Just thought maybe there is something I can do if anyone can tell me.

Hi, I posted on here not too long ago that my car would not shift out of park. A friend helped me look at my car, and it seems like my car IS shifting gears, but for some reason, my parking breaks aren't releasing. What can I do? Is there a way to release them? Or do I need to send it to a mechanic, and if so, can my car be towed there if my brakes are locked? My car will go into neutral, but the locks stay on.

Thanks!!
