So yea can i drop my gift as i leave?

Yes ,as long as you didn't come on the board the same turn

In general, no.
This is due to wound allocation, the bomb rules themselves must off some form of allocation other than standard (such as random).

Would it not be fine to do so ? As long as you do not do the above^.

You can't enter the table and leave in the same move.

Question is, how do bombs allocate wounds?

Nothing in the bomb rules stops you from leaving airspace when dropping a bomb. And random allocation works fine for it.

But what allows you to use Random allocation?
Vector Strike uses it, it's written into the rule. So a FMC can vector strike when leaving the board.
But what allows a bomb to use it?

The rule itself does.

At times, you will not be able to tell which model is closest. This usually happens when two or more models are equidistant from the shooting unit, but can also occur if he position of the attacker is unclear

Is the bombers position clear ? Then you use RA. Unless the bomb itself has a rule like barrage.

True it does.
I'll admit you're probably very right.
But it's good to explore all sides of the argument.
