Default Advice on problems found with my car...

Had a free tune up on my 110,000 mile 1997 Honda Civic today at my local Honda dealer (extended emissions warranty). They also performed a complimentary 40 pt. inspection and found the following problems:

1) timing belt may need to be replaced ( bought car at 60,000 and not so sure this has ever been replaced)
2) front engine mount broken
3) rear trailer arm bushings broken
4) oil pan gasket leaking
5) weak radiator hose
6) transmission, brake fluid, engine air filter service recommended

I'm wondering first which of these problems should be my main priorities to fix and am wondering also the approximate cost for each of these repairs? I'll be getting some or all of these repaired in the next couple of weeks so any advice is appreciated, thanks!!!

B.G.

any possibility of getting hold of the previous owner and find out if or when the timing belt was replaced. if it goes (usually slips), you will get stranded (and may not be close to home). i would take care of that first.
the air cleaner is simple to change - i would do that as soon as possible also.
