That's more like it 
You'll need to find either someone breaking a car or find a 106/saxo in the scrappys. Any 106/Saxo will do. They all share the same struts, the only difference being is that some have a mount welded on them for the ARB drop links. So if you have drop links, you will need ones with, if you don't then you can use either.

So you'll need to find struts with the ARB links welded to them. That's a bit more challenging. There were the VTS, 106 GTI and i think the VTR has them as well. There may be more models but that's all I can think of off the top of my head.
The broken droplink will definitely be causing the bouncy feeling you've been having.

There's no need. If you have drop links, you need struts from a car that had the same setup or you won't be able to use your ARB.

That is the steering rack and it's missing a rubber gaitor.
Are sure the shock is leaking oil seems to be a lot of oil on the strut look's like the steering rack is leaking and it gas sprayed oil on the suspension it would be wise to check the power steering fluid level.

Oxass I have just look at the car and it seems to be just the driver side as the other side hasn't got any oil over the strut. Could it be the steering rack and the shock broken ?

If dirt has got in rack due to no gaitor it will fk the rack the shock may be leaking as well jack the car up take the wheel off clean all the oil off start the engine steer the car from lock to lock a few time and turn it full lock so the rack is fully exsposed where the gaitor should be check for any oil if it looks ok replace the gaitor.To check the shock visualy inspect the piston part for oil with the car on the ground press down hard on car on the same side as the suspect shock if it bounces more than once the shock is suspect.

Thinking about it the hydralic part of these racks is seperate from the rack so chances are it will be the shock leaking however still inspect the rack and clean it andreplace the gaitor.
