You should search a used tranny at your local junk yards.
I would estimate tranny price at $600.00. It can be higher but if you search hard enough you will get it cheap. Tranny swap on 4-cyl. engine is about
$400-600(I know a guy that does it for $400.00)
Oil leak#1 will cost you almost the price of the part itself because it can be replaced during tranny swap.
Oil leak#3: If you didn't replace a timing belt yet, I would recommend you to look for an engine-tranny swap. Gasket repair and timing belt replacement will run you more $ than used engine. Try to look for a engine-transmission bundle. If you are able to negotiate you will get a good deal.
Oil leak #2: It could be just a washer that should be replaced every time you change oil. (I replace it every 3)
Power steering leak: It wouldn't be much. It can be tank it self, hose or clamp. Even all together you can get under $100.
Yeah, the drain plug leak must have to do with the threads because I replace the washer at every change.
