Talking First time post

I'm looking forward to posting her.
I have a 1993 Honda Accord LX with 78,000 original miles.
The interior and exterior are almost flawless.
My dad bought it new and when he became too old to drive, gave it to my son.
He drove it for several years and recently moved overseas. So i decided to sell my Ford f150 (i miss it!) in favor of keeping the Honda. Even though it has low mileage, age is the biggest culprit. I'm afraid to say i've invested over $5,000 in repairs, but i plan on this being my final car, so i decided to sink money into fixing it. And since i probably wont drive more than about 7k per year, it should last "forever"

The question is what am I NOT having done to the car! LOL!
Here's a list of what i've had replaced;
New timing belt, water pump, four KYB shocks, cv axle boots, brake booster, master cylinder,replaced all hoses, distributor, rear main seal, valve cover gasket. I know i'm leaving something out.
The car is leaking fresh oil. Looks like its from the oil pan or tranny?
Its back with my transmisson mechanic. Possibly a defective gasket? He replaced the seal and gasket last week.
