1) my transmission pan gasket is leaking (slowly)
2) rear suspension sway bars links are loose and need replacing
3) Cylinder Head is starting to leak at rear of cylinder head and front upper timing cover is leaking oil very slowly.

which is most important to do first??

Any and all answers would be helpful because I don't know the first thing about mechanical issues.
