Default 98 s10 4.3 v6 question/help/guidence

New owner of a 98 s10 with about 134XXX on it. Got it cheap, knew going into the thing that it was going to need some work.

Well, a couple things are wrong that I have found so far. First was what I thought was just warped rotors, but I took it to a brake place and they said it also needs a new idler arm/center link/pitman arm. Is this something I can do myself if Im good with wrenching?

When the truck was on the lift, they noticed its leaking some oil from what looks to be the intake manifold........ I have heard of this happening to a lot of these engines.

Im just lost on how to find out just how bad the leak is and if its just external or if its also internal and If I have some oil/coolant mixing???

Help or suggestions please?

The truck runs good right now so Im hoping its semi-minor stuff
