Default Front suspension camber fix after crash. + oil leak

My project Jaguar is from Salvage auction and it clearly hit something hard enough to break the rim and bend the wishbone. I have replaced the wishbone, but the car still has too much positive camber, it has around 1 to 2 degrees of positive caber based on my digital spirit level, while it should have around 1 to 0 negative camber.
As far as Im aware there are no official ways to adjust the camber, so i think there is still some parts to be replaced, but what. Maybe the subframe or the shock absorber. Does anybody have some ideas what i should do next.

Also the car is leaking oil, apparently between the block and oil pan. Seems like it would be pretty hard to replace the gasket between those parts. If i have to swap the subframe for a new one i might swap the gasket, but if i don't i would rather live with small oil leak. Could there be a easier way to mitigate the oil leak?
Attached pictures are from before i swapped the wishbone.
