Answer buried in rubbish, whichever way you look - every solution is something like this (7)

I believe the answer is:

rotator

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'look every solution is something like this' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'answer buried in rubbish whichever way' is the wordplay.
'answer' becomes 'a' (abbreviation eg in Q and A).
'buried in' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters get buried).
'rubbish' becomes 'rot' (both can mean nonsense).
'whichever' becomes 'to' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'way' becomes 'R' (abbreviation for right).
'rot'+'to'='rotto'
'a' going within 'rotto' is 'rotato'.
'rotato'+'r'='ROTATOR'

'you' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rotator that I've seen before include "Something turning" , "One goes round" , "Device that spins" , "Muscle that turns" , "Muscle that revolves a part of the body on its axis" .)
