Dropped the car off at a shop for inspection bad news.
Power steering pump needs to be replaced.
Rear main seal has a leak.
Both oil pans are leaking.
Rack and pinion need to be replaced.

I think I can do the power steering pump and rack.

Should I try some stop leak?

The quote was for $4,000.00 including new brakes tires and rotors. Brakes and rotors I can do.

Should I bother with the repairs or just sell it?

That is a lot more than that car is worth.
