Unhappy How A Small Coolant Leak Totaled My 240D :-/

I have been having a very small coolant leak for a few weeks now, but I was waiting to get it fixed because I just moved back to AZ from NY and still have not secured a job yet. Then the other night my car spewed a big puddle of fuel out underneath the engine, presumably from the IP pump which I think might need a new leather diaphragm (it's running rich and smoking more). I took it to my mechanic to see about the more pressing fuel issue, and he couldn't get it to leak during his testing, but he WAS able to find that coolant leak. It's from some super short hose under the thermostat housing and BURIED behind the ginormous A/C bracket. To replace the hose, plus some other parts that might as well be replaced while all of that area is accessible (water pump & housing, etc.), will be a cool $1,500+, and that is not even addressing the fuel puddle issue. I want to cry. I think the job is just too much work for me, plus I don't really think I have the right tools either. I'm just venting, no real fixit help posts required.
