hello and welcome
The red fluid is engine coolant, clean it off and look fir where it’s coming from , the rubber hoses are coolant hoses The oil leak , I would suspect the oil pressure switch The air intake manifold that is part of the exhaust ( but only directs heat not exhaust gasses ) is to direct warm/ hot air to the air filter fir better running in very cold climates You can weld it back or leave it

ditto:
would concur. clean it all and then you can spot more easily where things come from - the T3 haynes manual is also your friend - goes from easy basic routine maintenance as a starter (with the specs for correct fluids etc) all the way to an engine rebuild if you're feeling adventurous. good luck !
