Final update.
took the car to Bavarian Tunning in Santa Rosa. $400 for parts and labor.
Changed the gasket, cleaned everything off and swapped my Differential bushing with a new one. (figured a new bushing wouldnt hurt since they were already back there)
they quoted me $850~ for new control arms and front bushings and labor. Gonna have that done next month hopefully.
