Rb30E Oil Explosion

[SPINR31]

Hi all im new here so sorry if this is in teh wrong section but;

i drove home yesterday and upon arriving home i noticed a large amount of smoke from under the bonnet.

i lifted it up and later saw oil or P/s fluid (its a brown colour) had exploded all over the left side of the engine and the bonnet and was dripping onto the headers (hence the smoke)

i wiped it all off and left it for the night.

upon starting it the next morning there was no leakages or oil spitting out, no milkshaking, nor was it blowing smoke but i found some hoses with holes in them (See Pics Below)

i was running Normal unleaded (5bux worth) to get me to the fuel station to put e10 in (10%ethanol, 90%unleaded) i have ran this before so i dont think it is the problem (No misfiring or skipping)

i am unsure of what hoses are what but i am hoping it is just hoses as it has what i believe to be a spun bottom end bearing so im hoping it hasnt exploded the crank case (but it sounds normal so unlikely)

note: temperatures are normal.

note oil stain below

please note where the hose connects (below) and the oil around it (may not be from this hose or connection)

any help appreciated.

ps: dont know wether this is help but these are the mods:

Bosch 500hp fuel pump

VL Turbo Injectors

VL Air System and POD

Slightly higher than normal compression (unsure of ratio)

Short Shift Gear Box

Heavy Duty Clutch

Re-Mapped Computer - use to be turboed but bought it no turbo has been running fine til now.

Top photo looks like power steer pump. Dodgy thing is that pipe clamp on the high pressure hose from it. I'm guessing this has been put on to hold a blister down or attempt to plug the leak.... Replace the hoses. Either take them down to an enzed or pirtek and they can make up new ones, or just get spare parts instead.

Check all engine oil and PS fluid levels. Pretty sure the PS fluid will be low. PS fluid is red when its new.

yer i thought it was motor oil but it certainly isnt thick enough nor was the engine low on oil, i traced all the hoses back to that belt driven pump and the p/s resevoir, so im going to nurse it to a motor joint and get new hoses and replace p/s fluid

it was a sub 14sec n/a til this happened

i put some spread some sikaflex glue around the hole (to temporarily patch it) and put some electrical tape around the fitting and the glue, will this hold enough to get me to the store (5km)to buy another hose?

its only power steering. disconnect the belt then no pressure will build up. you'll just have to drive it with the steering feeling heavy.

that pipe will probably leak. replace the entire thing with pressure hose. as stated, get it made up or even get a 2nd hand rb30 power steering pump fluid feed hose.

alright, im going to disconnect belt and drive to pedders, but they quoted 250-300 to repair the hose, test it and fit it i mite get them to check over my other hoses will they are at it.

they said they arent readily available so they will have to replace the hose

that hose should cost around $70-80 from pirtek and enzed. you can also replace the hose yourself.

theres no pirtek or enzed in my town, but i mite give them a ring in shepp and see what they quote

i started it today and with close eye i couldnt see a leek from any of the power steering hoses, but sure enough there was stil smoke and "burning oil smell" coming from the headers (directly under the pipe that leads from manifold to air pod but im not sure what it was or is
