wow! damn man, don't be drinking that crap! that can kill you!

lets start with number 1: clacking could be a lot of things, but the chain tensioner probably isnt "stuck" - the chain might be loose though (and shaving off aluminum into your engine...), something you should check anyway. pop off the cam cover off and check it out. (its doubtful that you will be able to save the gasket - even if you are very careful. buy a new one and also the little half moon rubber seals at the back - this will ensure you arent leaking oil all over the place. )

2. clutch - have someone else push the clutch while you are under the car and looking at the slave cylinder where it pushes on the lever going into the transmission. (if you bled the system I am assuming you know where that is) check to make sure it is moving its full distance. sounds like the slave is just about ready to explode. they can get all corroded inside if they sit for a long time-

3. my fuel tank leaks as well. sucks doesnt it? mine is from the bottom.

at least your brakes work right? get this: I hit my brakes and the front calipers grab hold and its all good right? but then they don't unstick until I let some juice out of the system (unscrew the bleed screw and it squirts out) but if I hit the brakes again! bam! stuck! what do people think? new calipers or is it something less obvious?
