All of it but the AC problem can be taken care of at home. The oil pan leak can best be located using an ultraviolet dye and light to locate the exact source of the leak. Once it's located, unless the problem is a cracked head or block, it can be fixed at home.

Go buy a Haynes or Chiltons Motor Repair Manual for $20. Everything is described, the procedure as well as the tolls required.

If the AC seepage includes compressor oil, it could cause the compressor to freeze up if it's used.
