: Obviously, you know older cars "seep" fluids. When they turn into significant "drips" I would worry more about them. You can judge by your garage floor.In the meantime, oil is cheap (your service provider is obviously NOT).
: A tie rod end is $30, installation takes 30 minutes, and setting the toe, maybe $35. That isn't close to $200!!
: If the drive shaft vibration IS the driveline (not the guido, which is $50 plus 1 hour install if they can get it in w/o pulling the exhaust and driveshaft, which I routinely can do). A rebuilt driveshaft is $600 plus 1 hour install.
: If your car fast idles cold and holds 600-900 rpm (holds a constant rpm somewhere between 600-900 that is), don't worry about the ICV yet.
: There, we just got you done for $300 bucks; don't you feel better? Remember, it's not a new car. Unless you expect it to be, relax and enjoy it.

Thanks, Bob. I can understand the seeping of oil, but I was a little worried about the seeping from the brake booster. I figured I would get the belts replaced and fix the tie rod as of now.
