They said they also found 3 leaks:
Rear main seal $3000
transmission pan gasket $1250
drivers side cv shaft (axle?) $1400
So the horrible noise was due to the air oil separator, that has to be fixed.. but I think only one of the leaks was serious, the others are slow leaks..
One possibility, I usually get it worked on (brake pads) by a mechanic who works out of his garage, I put a call in to him, Im sure he would charge less than the dealership, ... do you know if any of these issues could be address by this type of guy? or would you need the apparatus they have in the shop to fix these?

I’m competent with a wrench but not trained mechanic nor have much practice. I replaced the AOS, both drive shafts (need alignment afterwards, 80 bucks) and did the tranny service to include pan gasket of course.
Parts were 100 bucks for AOS and 2 hours
Parts for drive shafts were 200 bucks and about 1.5 hours each side
Parts for transmission where 6 quarts of tranny fluid at about 11 bucks a quart and a 10 dollar gasket, I spent about 2 hours, but an hour of this was cleaning everything and scrubbing the pan, etc.
do it yourself or learn exactly how and direct an independent on how you want it done.
It’s fun! [emoji846]
