My 2000 Nissan Altima seems to be leaking gas however when I park it I cannot find a visable leak. My car also loses power and when I come to a stop it stalls on me.

I have a similar problem that turned out to be the fuel filler pipe could only identify it with a full tank. If you park slightly down hill with the front of the car down it would not show up, park the other way and it would drip. initially thought it was the hose form the tank to the filler pipe, but turned out the pastic coating on the pipe came off and the pipe rusted through at a mounting bracket.

A fuel leak is very obvious because you would smell it right away. Unles there is an obvious smell, it is not leaking fuel at all.

My 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP has a power steering leak but seems to work well. my mechanic wants to replace the whole rack and pinion, but that seems extensive for a leak. any suggestions?

Anytime a power steering compononent is leaking it requires replacement. whether or not you choose to replace it is up to you. if you lose all power steering fluid you will lose your power assist however mechanical steering ability is still maintained.

Nissan Altima 2000 - Engine oil leaking problem.

replace the front oil seal. first i would clean the engine with purple power (degrease etc.) then look at the engine and make sure the leak is not coming from above like possibly the valve cover gasket or from the oil sending unit. try to tighten the bolts on the valve cover and even the oil pan. you never know, you may get lucky. i don't know where you are but front seals are cheap but the labor on the job is what costs you.

What is the valve cover torque sequence for a 2000 nissan altima

No spec for torque. Bolts have shoulders. Replace gasket. Tighten the 2 center nuts first and just tighten the rest until they stop. You can tighten one and jump across the valve cover and do the other, but not necessary.
