OK, Power steering pipe leak fixed, and had a good clean up of the engine bay.
Regarding the Oil leak, pretty much the entire oil system has been rebuilt (previous owner had not changed oil for a long time) so initially cam belt and top half all sorted, then oil pick up issues surfaced half of oil system worked on, seals were all hard and perished etc. so actually this car had 4 complete oil changes in about 1 month and this was all around 2000 miles ago. I topped up the oil and it actually took around 2 litres, so clearly something is not right.
I checked the vacuum effect on the dipstick and it seemed OK, and there is no obvious evidence of leakage, so I will just monitor for a while. I also had to top up the coolant, always a concern when this is required needed to add about 200ml so not a huge amount. Oil is clean so not concerned that head gasket is the issue here.
Generally a little concerned at the moment :-(
