Default Gremlins

Hi all

My car has developed a number of gremlins.
I believe it may be something to do with the oil leak I have had resolved recently. The oil must have been leaking down the front and back of the engine and so in the process leaking over the belt and pulleys, including the alternator.

No, for some reason a belt change wasn't suggested to me at the time but it is booked in tomorrow to have this done.

Issues....
The power steer has micro-moments of almost being non-existent.
A failing in the power boot, it is struggling to close and takes 3 attempts and is very slow. Opening not an issue but slower than normal.
The entire dash fails for micro-seconds, going completely dark/black. (especially is on a fast-ish long right hand bend).
The interior lights flicker and pulse with a door open.
The interior light in the boot lid has become very dim and almost not worth having.
I am sure there are other little developments but I cant remember them at the mo!

Anyway, I thought a degrease and belt change could be a cheap-ish logical solution, do you think my logic works! LOL
I replaced the battery about 80k ago.
