Despite the fact only 2 quarts came out, put the recommended 5 quarts
back in.  Warm the engine up and then let in cool off on a flat  surface.
Check the dipstock.  Wherever the mark is, mark it as full.  A  simple
file mark will do.  Make sure you insert in the same was each  time.
 
As to the steering wheel. 
 (1)  Remove the black plastic steering cover  housing. 
 (2) Use your finger nails or similar soft item and pry off the center  car.  
      Careful the back vinyl may be very  brittle.  The chrome ring comes off 
      with the center, so put your finger nail  under that.  Inside you'l' 
find a nut 
      and washer holding the adjuster  ring. 
(3)  Remove the nut and then wobble the adjuster off.  
(4)  Remove the horn ring.  Three phillips screws.  Remember  to slide off
      the turn signal connector.  
(5)  The metal adjuster that held the nut in (2) is a hat shaped  piece
      that screws unto the end of the steering  adjuster.  The adjuster
      sticks has probably slide down the steering  column.  You'll
      have to fish it back up.  I long strong  magnet can work  There
      should be a small plastic ring the clips  around the shaft that
      may have been lost in the past.  Hold  the shaft up and reconnect
      the adjuster.
(6)  reassemble.
 
This is not a hard project.  If your turn signal are still on the  right
and you want them on the left, undo their mounting ring and flip
them around.  The turn signal mount has a small tong that stick  down.
This cancels the signal after making a turn.  Adjust the mount
so it works correctly.
 
Honk Honk means you screwed the horn ring screw down to much.
By moving themin or out, you can adjust how the horn works.
 
Tach/Spped errors and best left to the listers.

to undo the turn signal.
