You should have replaced the timing belt yourself, its an easy DIY. That white stuff on the dipstick is just water in the oil. Change the oil with Mobil 1 synthetic, no need to spend extra for "long life" advertising. Check the tranny fluid and if it is not red, flush it.

As for the slow driver's window, it could be a broken window guide. Your best bet would be to remove the panel and take a good look. The 850 is known to have the bottom channel break and cause problems. Watch out for the little plastic phillips screw at the front of the door.
