new car...tune up needs

[E30MACK]

just bought a 88' 325is....it has a few things that need attending to and a few that I figure will be preventitive maintaince. there is a oil leak coing from the front of the engine but I cant pin down where its coming from so I may have to take it into a shop to have them at least tell me where its coming from so I can replace that gasket or seal. needs a new radiator(anyone know of a good brand for these, or where to get one?), figured I'd replace the thermostat(what temp. do I need?), replacing the guibo and CSB, plugs, fuel filter, valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket. the timing belt was changed about a year and a half ago.

is there anything else that you guys recommend?

If the oil leak is at the very front of the engine it could be coming from the cam shaft seal. Once the timing covers are off you'll be able to tell if the leak is there, at main seal, or at the intermediate shaft seal. Another common cause of a leak is the valve cover gasket and the four rubber bungs.
