oil leak

the power steering leak is going to be a return line [common] try replacing clamps otherwise replace short hose and clamps.the lower oil pan gasket tends to leak at all the small bolts.try tightening if not successful replace lower pan gasket during an oil change.while you have pan off two other things to do [1]up on right side of block[only accessible with pan off] is oil level sending unit.remove clip from outside and push in pull down and replace both o rings[if it doesn't leak now it will] [2] take the rubber protector off the oil pump pickup and clean the screen. one more sugg either hammer out the lower oil pan or replace it[they are cheap].
