Hi, I have a 13.5hp Briggs & Stratton motor which starts and will only run on choke slow rpms and mild smoke.

check the point where the fuel hose goes to the fuel tank
there is very fine filter in the hose that could be blocked preventing full fuel flow
only running on choke indicates insufficient fuel flow

I have a 2002 dodge caravan the oil is dripping on the ground when the engine is working

check where the oil is coming from first. check around the oil filter for leaks. if from the front of the motor check power steering and hoses for leaks . Around the radiator check for hoses to the transmission cooler . Check for leaks around loose sump plug. check for oil leaks from rocker cover gaskets running down the block at the back

Oil leak

If the hose comes out the top of the transmission, this is the transmission vent line.

Make sure the line doesn't "dip" anywhere alone it's run, causing a low area where residual oil would "pool", then blow out under pressure.

Also, make sure transmission fluid isn't over-filled.

When I turn on the air conditioning in my 2005 Dodge Neon, the engine leaks motor oil and the ac no longer blows cool air.

AC and motor oil leak are two separate issues unless your hoses have been wrongly connected (remote). So first attend to the oil leak. check if there is sufficient clean oil. If not get oil change. Once this problem solved, get AC checked out for freeon and fan connections.

Loosing coolant, but no drips on the ground at all. Where is it going? Changed the coolant holder, as thought it may have a crack, but the coolant is still disappearing. It is not leaking through any...

you need to take the oil dipstick and see what color the oil is if it is milky color your piston rings are leaking or maybe main seal look on back side of motor side if real dirty oily wet also check your thermostat maybe leaking slowly on motor burning it off hope this helps where i would start

Coolant leaking into the engine oil. I'm guessing

its more than likely either your head gasket or intake gasket. You either have the 3.4 or 3.8 engine and they are well known for these to leak.

Car overheating

First, plastic tube may be the overflow vent from the coolant bottle.Check to see where the attached end goes. You are going to have to check engine for coolant leaks (carefully refill system without spilling anything, then look for dripping anywhere. Look for leaks from all hoses, fittings radiator, water pump etc) After checking for leaks, start it up and check again (watch where you put your hands though) While running, check that the fan comes on when the vehicle reaches operating temp.(no fan, check fan motor, sensor & relay) Turn the heat on (does it have heat?) Check temp of lower hose and upper hose. If overheat happens, is lower hose still cold? (likely bad thermostat). If you found a leak, replace whatever is leaking...best insurance is to change thermostat after any overheat. Last, is there any white smoke from tailpipe, does engine run rough? If so, could be a failed head gasket or crack in cylinder head. (at this point last thing to worry about unless there is excessive smoke or rough run or oil in radiator or coolant in oil).

Oil leak on manifold passenger side - v6 4motion

Get a can of Gunk and clean the engine according to the directions there (please do read them), with attention to the area around where the oil leak is.  Once you get the motor squeaky clean, you will be able to trace back to where the oil is coming from.  It may be running down the underside of a hose so you will need to look carefully.  You can do all this in the driveway.  You will probably have to let the engine get to operating temp before it will start leaking.
