For the transmission leak, you would have to replace the gasket on the oil pan. For the engine leak, you just need a bottle of 'Stop Leak'. So it will run you about $100 to $120 parts, labour and taxes.
 
Depends on the nature of the leak. The worst kinds are those that require the transmission to be removed because of leaky seals at the end bearings.
The greatest cost is obviously the labor which is now at $100/hr.

You are looking at a 17 year old car for which it becomes problematic to pay a large repair bill, because at that age things will continuously require repairs.

If you can afford to make a small monthly payment, I would say go get a new reliable inexpensive car with a good warranty. I believe some of the Korean cars offer that and are getting quite good in quality as well.

Remember, it is just my opinion. Good luck.
 
It's hard to say because Haven't told us exactly what part of the engine or transmission are leaking. Need more information. Anyway, good choice of car.
 
It all depends on where the leaks are and what's involved in fixing them. I assume the repair shop gave you a quote on repairs as most shops do. If you're not satisfied with their quote, check around at other shops and see what they say. Just keep in mind that sometimes you get what you pay for.
