Put the front wheels on full lock, and send us a photo of the inside of the hubs (2WD) or front CV joints (4WD).

Oil getting out from that boot? and onto the air con radiator?
Am i missing the main fuse then? And what does that one do?
Only electrics from what i tested so far that doesn't work, is the front side lights (different post for that) and rear fans.
These fans exit just behind the front seats in the roof liner vents.

the oil on the intercooler may just need the clip above tightening up, or remove the intercooler altogether then wash out any collected oil thats in there.
the steering rack maybe leaking from the seal where the shaft comes down into the rack and running down, lift the rubber seal (top hat shaped) around the shaft to check.

If you do not have the ABS fuse .. pump / valve block .. the toothed cog / wheel sensers .. then you do not have ABS fitted ..

This is a view of nearside 2WD hub and you can see the ABS ring (which I think it fitted as standard on yours) and the sensor going off to the top (which I can't see on yours)

It doesn't have ABS , but it does have serious PS steering rack problems. When is the MOTT due.

The damp patch behind the brake caliper needs checking out too.
