Oil leak and something else 850 1995

I found a small spot of oil in my driveay that I attributed to a family member's car the last couple of weeks. It has been small but building lately. Well, it now is identified as coming from my 1995 850 (non-turbo). I see it from the bottom of the car coming out of the driver sside of of what appears to be the transmission (sorry, I'm not sure what side the trans sits). the oil level has been fine (even though it takes the normal quart every 3000 miles.) I had the car serviced about one month ago and that is when it seems to have started. I am embarressed to say that I have never changed my own oil on this car (easier to get rid of the oil via the dealer) so I don't know where the plug is and if it is tightened correctly. I do see a bolt that could be a plug and the oil seems to have gathered around it.

On a different note, I have what appears to be clear fluid inside my passenger side alloy wheel. I was adding windshield washer fluid and the tank over flowed via the overflow tubes attached to the washer tank. Would this flow down inside the engine compartment and then down into the wheel? The fluid was clear but once it hitthe brake dust and signs of blue washer fluid is lost. Any ideas before I visit the dealer Monday?

Thanks
