Leaking Valve

I just noticed that this valve is leaking. The pipe is coming from the hot water tank.
Do I need to have that one section of the copper pipe replaced and put on a new valve? Why is that valve even there? Sorry, I’m a novice when it comes to plumbing.

Does a Toyota Prius have a temp gauge?

I have a 2010 Toyota Prius 3rd Gen and I’ve read that the 2010-2015 are notorious for blown head gaskets. Does this car have a temperature gauge because I can’t find one on my car. If not, I can see why so many have blown head gaskets. Can anyone recommend a reliable temp gauge of some sort so I know if the car’s temp is rising or starting to overheat. Where would I connect something like that? Also, Keeping a code reader plugged in is not a solution.

Is this rotor trashed or superficial rust?

Doing brakes for the first time. Took this off my 2006 Toyota Solara with 166,000 miles. The face of the rotor is smooth and no deep grooves but the outer edges have a lot more rust. Should it be completely replaced?

Where to find a used engine for a 2014 Prius?

My friend has a 2014 Toyota Prius (Gen 3, 1.8L 2ZR-FXE engine. His Prius overheated and he blew a head gasket and he’s now having to find a used engine- preferably under 70,000 miles with a clean history.
Can anyone recommend legitimate places that sell used engines with a warranty?
I’m concerned about him getting an engine that was in a flood, or the car was in a front end accident. He’s located in DC, Virginia, Maryland area. Thanks in advance!

Is this a gasket leak?

My upstairs shower seems to be leaking at the drain. Is this typical of the gasket failing? If so, what’s the best way to replace a bad drain gasket?
