OK. I now have 223300 miles on my 1995 Accord 4-cyl 4 dr. EX-L. I bought the car new in '95 and have taken excellent care of it for the most part.

It's just now beginning to show signs of some of the "bigger" issues.

Below is a list of the things I know are wrong and some I think are going wrong. Any guidance on what to expect price/cost-wise is greatly appreciated. The dealer is not out of the question.

Front suspension: Specifically the tie rods, etc. have worn out, the boots are rotten and I have severe toe and camber wear on the front tires.

Oil leak 1: I think it is from the main seal there around the side of the transmission. Can't remember what it's called but this is a main oil leak.

Oil leak 2: Not so big but the drain plug in my oil pan has started leaking. Can this be fixed with a new drain plug (newer threads) or should I look to replace the pan when I have them replace the oil pan gasket?

Oil leak 3: I think I'm seeing the beginning of some head gasket leaks. Not good. This seems to be the biggest cost item to me but needed some confirmation.

Power steering reservior leak: Seems just to be the lower hose at the clamp that is producing the leak. I can get the hoses and probably fix this myself; yes?

Tranny slippage: 3rd gear is starting to slip.

So how much would each of these issues potentially cost to repair???

Knowing you can't buy a new car right now or get one in the same condition for the money, how much total money would you put into it at this point? I know that's subjective but I just wanted to get input. I hear that I shouldn't dump more than $2K-$2500 into it at this point. I don't think that will fix all the issues unless I get lucky. Thoughts???

It sounds like a lot of issues I know. But with 223K+ on the original motor, I suspect that these are normal issues to come about. Amazing it's taken this long for them to.

Also, I am in the Atlanta area so if anyone knows of any reliable and HONEST mechanics outside of a dealer, that would be great to know too.

Thanks in advance.
