A couple of things please .....

This square pipe, what is it please? Seen better days so I'll put it on the list.

And the arial grommet is goosed as you can see. Looked in the boot and the arial is behind the power hood hydraulic system, you don't need to remove that to get at the arial do you or does it just screw off in situ?

As said defo the power steering cooler mines not great either i suppose its right up front and gets hit by the elements.
I think you have to remove the ariel to replace the grommit it pushes up through the centre, so removing it releases it.

I'll see if a light rub down, rust kill and hammerite will do the job first.

@Andy McDonnell
Be careful using standard Hamerite, it is only suitable to 80 degrees and not designed for prolonged exposure to heat, that cooler could get hot in summer I would use exhaust paint to be on the safe side.
