Default Can you guys help?

Went to get an oil change at the dealer today and was quoted with a 900 dollar estimation. Firstly, I need to get my sway link end and bushings replaced. I want to go OEM and I'am having difficulty locating the parts. Secondly, I'm kicking myself in the *** now, but I put 4 ounces of seafoam in the crankcase and now there is a leak in the valve cover. See picture. (I think prior to it, it was leaking but wasn't enough to notice.)
Also, since the sway bar bushings are completly cracked, would it be responsible for when i make a sharp right turn i hear like a rubbing sound coming from my passenger back tire.)

Oh they also said my lower ball joints were bad because it was leaking grease out of the boot. (something like that)

I wipe some of the oil off thats why it looks smudged like that.

BTW car is a 1997 Accord wagon ex (5dr) 4cylinders

Honda quoted me 900 dollars to fix everything (didn't include diag the leak).

If you're not mechanically inclined or just don't want to do it yourself, any place but the dealership should be able to to it much cheaper. Shop around. Any car clubs in your area?
