I have 2 questions. First, I'm hearing a nose in from the brake pedal, sounds like an air leak. It's constant as long as the car is started. Operating the brakes is all manual, no power assist.

Second, I'm hearing the valves rattle a bit usually in 2nd gear and only when I really step on the accelerator. Is this is a function of low octane or something more serious?
