Default Help please !!

The following leaks are plaguing me.. Oil goes down frequently, power steering leaks too.Could you tell me what these leaks are i'd be so happy. I've put new clamps on the visible leaks but i'm sure there are more. If someone could tell me where common leaks are for the power steering that would be great. 1998 2.8L V6 Quattro Manual

Default if it's dripping off the oil cooler...

and it's actually engine oil, then it's probably from the o-ring between the cooler and the upper oil pan. It's like a $2 at the dealer.

I really can't tell what I"m looking at in the other 2 pix, sorry. Lil more light? I had the lower clamps on the power steering leak before, which was a quick/easy fix. I also had the high pressure lines start leaking at the ps pump, which I had replaced.
