Default Electrical related problem

Hello,
Just after any advice on what has happened to my car.
Specs
AU Series 2 ute, XL model
142,000km

Driving my car home the other night, headlights on and was like my car had a surge of power.
Next thing my instrument cluster light is bright, my low beams are now permanently high beams, I've blown my front left head light and my cluster is cutting out.
I get home pop the bonnet and some fluid is in the engine bay near the battery, radiator, power steering pump etc. Only a small amount. Inspect the car, no leaking hoses, have fluid in all places that are needed.
Left the car over night check it the next day.
Start the car, cluster is working, give it a rev, cluster cuts out, no gauges working. Check headlights, parkers are parkers, low beam is high beam, high beam is parkers. At this point have also replaced headlight and noted that all interior lights are brighter.
Leave car, come back, flat battery. Change battery over. still have the same problem.
Any help?
