WE HAVE FIXED ALL OIL LEAKAGES FROM THE TOP COVER AND CHECKED ALL THE SEALS

Power steering noise
When the fluid is low and you add some ... it still needs more after
you run it for awhile. The reason for that is that the pump pumps the
fluid through the lines and gets out the air in them. Keep filling and
checking after you start the car and turn the wheel from side to side
all the way.
fluid. If it has a leak then i would address that problem
first. A pump will not bleed out if it is leaking. If every thing seems
to be okay and your pump still whines. Then replace the pump. Note my
advice is replace the pump with a new one from the dealer. These so
called rebuilt pumps that you buy from places like autozone o'rielys
ect.. Are cheaply rebuilt. Especialy if it's a ford. They don't bleed
out right improper pump pressures. A good pump will bleed out almost
imediatly.With the turn of the wheel a few times. If it doesn't then
your pump will more than likely never completly bleed out. Buy a pump
from the dealer it cost more but if your like me and don't like the
noise then it's worth it.
I just wanted to add another two cents about the topic of bleeding or burping the power-steering system:
1. Know what type of power-steering fluid is needed for your
car. Some power-steering pumps can use automatic transmission fluid,
others have specific power-steering fluid for each car i.e. Honda
requires and suggests that you use Honda's brand power-steering fluid
(see owner's manual). Make sure you know, or the warranty from the
dealership or from the parts store may be voided.
2. Before attaching the power-steering belt, fill pump with
required amount and type of fluid, (see owner's manual) and turn the
pulley wheel by hand a few times. This helps cut down on dry turns
before they can happen. If more power-steering fluid is needed fill
accordingly.
3. Attach the power-steering belt with proper amount of tension (see owner's manual).
4. Turn vehicle on and proceed to turn the steering-wheel all-the-way right and left 3-4 times.
5. Turn the vehicle off and examine that the belt tension is
acceptable, and again check the level of fluid and fill accordingly.
6. Always, always check your owner's manual before performing
any maintenance on your vehicle. An educated car owner is a safe car
owner!
Another possibility
How long has the pump run without fluid for? There could be damage
inside to the cam an rotor (assuming it's is a vane type pump), to the
plates or it could be cavitating due to the ingress of air - possibly
why the fluid leaked out in the first place.

SOURCE: Oil leakage
You have an open hose from valve cover to no where which oil is coming out of....hmmmm, I would think yes..... If you still have a problem with oil blowing out of motor after those are fixed, sounds like you may have back pressure.
SOURCE: emgine oil shortage
there are 2 reasons for this first you have a vehicle with i'm sure at least 100,000 miles on it this means that the valve seals are most likely hard and not soft like the should be,and therefore the oil seeps down into the piston cylinders and get's burned. Second you have an oil ring on the piston and if this is worn oil will be brought up through pistion from oil pan and burned as well. now most oil leaks occur either around the valve covers or the oil pan, however there are seals on the crankshaft as well and they tend to leak over time. unless there is a puddle under the vehicle while it's parked I would say that either the valve seals are the problem or piston oil ring is the problem or both. the only way to solve it is to have engine overhauled, this of course is not cheap.
SOURCE: oil leaking on top of engine..is it valve seals?
Might be the oil cap too. They only cost a couple of bucks a the part store. You also might want to check the crank case ventilation hoses on top of the valve cover. I'm pretty sure that those are a dealership part, ( which can be kind of pricey), but you can usually find stuff like that real cheap at a junk-yard, just make sure they're not damaged before you buy them.
SOURCE: To change the oil pan gasket in a 93 Tercel
Stock the car doesn't come with an oil pan gasket but you can order one from rockauto.com you don't have to remove the A/C compressor for any of the jobs you listed. If you want to change the timing belt you need to remove the plastic rock guard under the motor on the passenger side. remove the spark plugs and using the socket turn the engine from the crankshaft clockwise until you are at TDC on #1 cyclinder. (compression stroke) Next remove the upper and lower plastic timing belt covers. The idler pulley is the one with the spring. Loosen the nut and remove the spring then you can remove the timing belt. It really isn't that hard to do. Maybe one afternoon.
