WTF do we have here?

[burndup]

Things you notice when ya got it all torn down!

AC accidentally got killed, so out it was ripped....

But look at the two arrows, especially the upper green arrow where the casting is fractured, thats my power steering bracket, right?

I've got some sort of an oil leak down there, not sure if its just a leaky PS pump, or could it posibly be engine oil leaking out of those open bolt holes? (see below for the link to my picture pages, theres one of the radiator out, the lighting is bad, but you can just see the oil spray pattern on the bottom of the radiator...? )

Now that lower green arrow, thats a missing bolt for the cradle that goes around the crank pulley for the purpose of holding an engine shock absorber of some sort that I'm apparantly missing? See:

So, ya think I'm leaking outta those bolt holes?

Do I need this shock? If not I wanna ditch the cradle...

Is the PS bracket really cast? Is that whats cracked there? Will it fly apart any further if left alone? Personally, I'd be glad to ditch the PS pump, power steering on little cars like this is for is for girlies! j/k
