It sounds like your rack and pinion is bad, causing it to have what mechanics commonly call "rack slap" or play in the rack and pinion internaly. This would also explain the fluid loss, as when they go bad they often leak. Also would explain the wobble in the frontend. What you do is jack up the frontend with both front wheels off the ground and shake your tires left and right, and look at the inner tie rods, and the rubber accordian like boots that go over the inner tie rod to the rack. If they are wet with oil, and leaking all around the boot, you need a new rack and pinion.
Hope this helps!
Have the steering gearbox checked. If fluid loss was severe. Wear in steering box causes excessive play in steering controls. Take on one concern at a time. They do not seem to be related
