Alright, so I'm not the most automotivly inclined person. But I have a really bad oil leak in what I think is my rack and pinion (see pics below) I just really need a diagnosis as to what exactly the problem is and how I can go about fixing the issue

I would first use engine degreaser and spray and clean the whole area.. After this, you should be able to tell where the leak is coming from. If it is the rack, I believe the only option would be to replace the whole rack and pinion. I guess a shop will charge 500 or so for the job. Good luck.
