Default 1992 ES300 help with repairs...

My 1992 Toyota Windom / ES300 (3VZ-FE engine) failed it's warrant of fitness check on a few things today... I was hoping for a little help as I can't afford to pay a mechanic to do it...

1st thing the notes say "left front suspension - lower arm front bush & rear bush"

Does that mean the round things in the control arm??? or are bushings and bush different??

I haven't jacked the car up and had a look for myself yet so I'm just a little unsure what I've got to replace at the moment... I haven't actually looked at the control arm so I don't know if there are round bushings in mine or what... Any pictures would be helpful! My description might be confused by looking at the control arms / bush / bushing on different vehicles (pics on the net)

2nd.... The front engine mount is broken, needs replacing. Can I do this with the engine in place?? I had a quick look under the hood when I got home but couldn't see the front mount (tho I might have expected the mount to look different than it does)..

3rd - Improve park brake.... How / where do I adjust the park brake (foot controlled)??

4th - Play left rear wheel bearing - Should I replace the hub & bearing or just the bearing?? I don't have specialized tools (like a puller which I think I might need to do just the bearing??)

5th Power steering belt needs replacing... Do I need anything special for this??

6th Engine oil leaking onto exhaust - I think he said this was coming from the rocker cover, so I need to replace the gasket.... Is this just a case of unbolting the cover / manifold to get to this and replace the rocker cover gasket, then put back together?? He said would be a good chance for me to do the rear spark plugs as I only did the front 3 a little while ago...

I really would appreciate any help!
