If your car has the 41TE transmission, then a common leak cause is the solenoid pack, which has been discussed extensively here and is a relatively easy fix. Some coupes have that transmission, some have the Mitsubishi transmission.

Why don't you get some engine cleaner and give everything under ther a really good cleaning, then watch it for a few days and find out exactly where the leak(s) are coming from. It sounds like the shop people are just guessing.

There are also dyes that you can add to the oil that show up under "black" light (you have probably seen "black" lights at dance parties).

Once you have a very good fix on where the leaks are, you can decide whether you want to repair them or just move on.

@ mrfixit i plan on starting with the valve cover gaskets first... because i was gonna tune the car up any ways so i might as well start there.... and as for head gaskets failing i honestly dont believe thats the case... i just hope its not leaking from the timing cover.... because that would be hell on wheels...:(
