I do not have a lot of money therefore, I can only fix one thing at a time with my car. Which should I fix first, a front left strut leaking oil or a drive belt tensioner?

If the drive belt tensioner fails this will strand you, the leaking strut will affect handling and braking but will not strand you with a break down, do the tensioner first, but do not neglect to fit the strut when finances permit.
