Don't know for sure about this one, but I do know you don't want the
transmission to run low or completely out of oil. The tranny would probably
suffer massive damage if it ran dry or real close to dry.
> #2. Reseal oil pan gasket (leak)
> labor:$143!, part: $20
If you have a garage and any mechanical experience at all, you can almost
certainly do this yourself. I don't believe it's a hard job, it just takes a
while and requires attention to detail.
> #3. Left and right outer axle boots cracked (not leaking)
> labor: $200!, parts: $52
This is a serious pain-in-the-ass of a job, so $200 is not really all that
bad a price. You could *probably* do this yourself, if you had the tools and
facilities, but you probably wouldn't want to. Everyone I have ever talked
to about this job hates it.
Hope this helps.
