1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited v8 Engine. Around 189,000 miles. Problems that I am having with it:
Engine makes constant ticking sound. Looks to be leaking antifreeze. Replaced water pump about a year ago. Check gauges light keeps coming on when oil pressure needle is on zero. Goes off after pressure needle rises. Noticed last week when I was driving that the needle had gone past the halfway point on the temperature gauge. A week ago, was driving on expressway and went to slowly brake. Vehicle rocked back and forth for a minute or two. How much damage to the car and wallet am I looking at for these problems? Any responses are greatly appreciated. Also, when going to accelerate, car revs up and then kicks into gear.
Thanks in advance!

Nobody can give you any prices when you haven't even figured out what the problem is yet. You have more than one issue that will have to be tackled one at a time. Pressure test the cooling system to determine what your coolant leak is and repair it. Next you will have to get the oil pressure problem diagnosed. You may have a weak oil pump or other issues like a sludged up engine.
