Power Steering leak and oil leak...UPDATE!

The leak coming from power steering...



The oil leak....



I'm pretty sure the power steering leak is that swelled up soaked hose. Can I get a replacement from Malloy? How much?
The oil leak might be a broken nipple on the oil filler neck...I'm not sure. I was just trying diagnose the spots that were showing up on the pavement and it lead to these. I'm almost positive my oil pan is leaking also...(no pics) The only thing about my oil leaks is when I check the dip stick it reads full....weird. I'm about to purchase Garfinkles oil pan brace within the next week or so for the major leak. The small leak in the pic has not leaked much oil on the ground, but I can see some oil on the hoses below it and on the subframe, so I want to get it fixed.

Another question.....what is this wire?



It's connected to the yellow wire in the background. It's dangling right near the subframe. I was changing out the plugs last week and noticed it there...I also noticed (no pic, didn't have the car on the lift) there is a green wire coming from the engine harness...just a lone green stripped wire near the plugs. There is no wire's leading to the oil level sensor in the pan....so I'm thinking maybe this is the wire that goes to it?

Any help/comments would be much apprenticed.
