Rocker cover gasket is a 5min job to replace, rear wiper sounds like bad earth/contact in the wiring. Pull the connector off and check for corrosion/dirt etc - not sure about being an RWC item.
Gas problem check for split hoses in the intake system also could be a diaphram in the converter or mixer or maybe the safety switch is playing up.
Saddle up tonto, its the not so loanrangie! . 98 TDI DISCO lightly modded with more to come.
