Question Oil and Transmission Leakage

Hi,

I have 2002 Lexus GS300. I noticed oil leakage on my drive way so I took it to the dealer. I have dealership run the diagnostics and they came back with bunch of recommendations. The list is below. I would like to know what is the level of effort to fix these issues. If you could also tell me the price range, that will be good.

1. Front crank shaft oil leakage
2. Oil pane leakage
3. Transmission front and rear main seal replacement needed.
4. Rear Right Suspension - Need new Struts.

Also, I have a local mechanic telling me to replace the timing belt since they have to do the crank shaft work.


Thanks!

if i had to guess around 1k with parts and labor to do the timing belt, crank seal, front and rear main seal and oil pan.. I need to get this done my self. Ill take my stuff to a supra shop that only deals with 2js and they are a little bit easier on the wallet than a dealer. Dealers will just rape you on labor but yet again most all shops labor is at 110 an hour and its a 4-5 hour job.. The struts will more than likely be around 200-400 if i had to take a guess.. Id look to spend 1.5k and go from there

Ill see if i can have a local buddy whos a tech at bmw do it for half that price. unreal.. Ill just keep adding oil untill than.
