Oil leak and something else 850 1995

Not to worry. The oil plug is dead center of the width of your car, but the plug is a horizontal bolt facing rearward towards the heatshields. I am a thin guy and still recommended (if you do not have a hydraulic jack) driving the front wheels on blocks to give you a couple of inches. Then slide yourself under the front bumper and you'll see the bolt. You can also try putting newspaper under the car to see where the drops are coming from. Hopefully it will match the location of the bolt.

Regarding leaky fluid, there are no colorless fluids in the car. My guess is when you filled your washer fluid, it leaked between the clear/white filler neck and the black tube just below it. Try twisting the filler neck by hand and you will see what I mean. This happened to me a few times as well.

Good luck.
