tail light
alternator

power steering hoses
2 sets of thrust rod bushings
radiator
expantion tank
FSR
High side service port
ihka control unit
valley pan gasket
water pump
2 window regulators
motor mounts
thermostat

Plus normal items like valve cover gaskets (twice), timing cover gaskets, vanos seals, battery.

Basically I had between about $8k to $10k in work performed over the past 3 years. Seems a little excessive. Not to mention I have started dropping oil on the garage floor a few weeks ago...again.

No, maybe a gravel driveway or two over the years. It is my wifes car and she is not hard on it at all. All fluids changed when due, OEM parts, dealer serviced for nearly all of those repairs, garaged, no snow, etc.
