New car, major problems
#6
Looks like every 306 I've ever owned.

Cam cover gasket, leak off pipes and sometimes sump plug washer.
all those leaks can spray horrible looking oil all over the underside of the car, but it's no problem.

f*cked shocks is quite common, the cars are getting on abit so it's to be expected - as is the rusted up brake balancer.

You'll probably find the bushes in the suspension arms are shot and the arms are usually bent from Kerb action, and the drop links are often mullered.
All cheap parts and all easy to fix.

You've gotta drop the arms off to sort the shock out anyway, 90% of the time the balljoint is so old you puncture the rubber so it's not worth re-using old arms.

IIRC you can get complete lower arms, with bushes and balljoins pre-installed for about 50 quid a side.
20 quid or so for both drop links.
