Hi everyone, I'm new on this forum and in this country pleasure to meet you guys!
I just bought a 2000 GT convertibile from a friend of mine, he payed good attention to the car maintenance but I was more worried about the previous owners (car has 122000 miles), after only two weeks I'm afraid my fears were motivated.
Every morning I found a small oil spot, so today I went to my mechanic:
my car is leaking engine oil from a bolt next to the oil filter and transmission oil from the the oil cooling hose and the pan gasket. Cost of repairs to replace all the trans gasket kit and fix the other leaks : about 800$
Since I'm an exchange student with NO income I would like to ask you guys what do you think. If you think I should do these repairs which price you retain fair.
The car runs great, shifts perfectly, engine oil level is still above minimum after 2 weeks. Trans oil level is in the middle of the H on the dipstick when the engine is running.
Here's a link to the pictures I took from under the car.

Thank you for your help!
