If the leak is coming from under your feet, it's either the supply line or the return line for the steering. I had to have one rubber line custom made and the other is just a peice of brake line that goes into the housing. Do you know what year your 1600 is? Or if it's the earlier model or later? Mine is the earlier model, and the steering was updated back in the 70's to the newer one that is in the 2-70 White. Here's a picture of mine:
 The line you see is the supply, and the return goes to the plug that is to the right of the hose, and almost the middle of the picture. If yours has the same block on the front like that, and the filter to the left side (cast thing with the hex head on it, to the right in the picture) it's an earlier model.(62 & early 63) If it's basically the oppostie and the filter is between your feet, it's a later model.(late 63 & 64) At 60 deg., you shouldn't really need the preheat. I would put a second battery in though. Just isn't enough amperage so it's probably spinning a little too slow, but 20 seconds doesn't sound horrible either (maybe it would if my 1855 took that long) You won't really do any damage to the starter by not having a second battery in there, but it may overheat if you have it engaged too long and that would damage the starter.
