The component in the pic called engine cradle aka subframe, its looks bad you should look for a replacement. This is why you should check and replace the LCA bushing once they starting to tear.

You need to repair/replace the sub frame too. Not sure if someone can weld a patch/gusset onto that or not. I'm thinking not since many would not want the liability of such a repair.

No one will spot weld that because the reliability is too great, your LCA is totally shot. I WOULD REPLACE BOTH LCA
as far as the PS leak, check the high pressure side lead down toward the rack. BTW how do you its the PS leak?
