760 GLE coolant disappearance 700 1990

Sooo, here's the deal.

I have to replace the water pump, thermostat, 2 upper hoses, 2 rear hoses, upper radiator hose and lower radiator hose. I might be wrong (and hope I'm not) but it just doesn't seem like this should cost $700+

Aside from that, per what the garage is saying the oil leak comes from the timing chain cover gaskets. They are claiming that this last one is labor intensive and will cost over $600... (although at this point the coolant issue seems like a much bigger problem).

Aside from that the front strut rod bushings need replacing but that's another story. Need to read up on that...
