So when I went to Wagga, I had oil and coolant in the boot which both came in handy in Albury on the way home..lol

Sh!T exactly the same problems I ran into! I had oil coming out of the same bolt and oil coming out of the timing case gasket from the same location you just mentioned. I ended up getting new timing case gaskets fitted and while it was all off I had the timing chain and guides all replaced too. Cost me $600 from the mechanics! I didn't have any coolant leaking issues and my power steering pump is fine, except for the bearings being a little noisy, there not too bad tho. Now I have a power steering fluid leak coming from somewhere, I don't think its the pump as its all clean around the joins, I'm guessing its leaking from the pressure switch as I've heard they can go pretty easy!

Good luck with it mate.
