Brake fluid reservoir is full. it does have quite a bit of rust
Smell the fluid. If it smells like gasoline you have a gas leak. If it smells like antifreeze you could have a hose or a anti freeze cooler line leaking. Or could be a water pump leaking and running along the frame under the car. Get a flash light and crawl under neath the vehicle and see where the fluid is coming from.

Just a heads up, $10 bucks will buy you a seal kit for the P.S. pump. I topped mine off for a couple months, then the oring on the high pressure line (from pump, front center) blew and dumped the reservoir in a matter of miles.
The line can be a stinker to get off, recommend driving the car for a few minutes to heat up the pump a little. Don't forget the 20MM wrench.

Manual Transmission
The level of lubricant in the transmission should be maintained at the
filler hole on all manual transmissions. This hole is on the right
side. When you check the level in the transmission, make sure that the
vehicle is level so that you get a true reading. When you remove the
filler plug, lubricant should run out of the hole. Replace the plug
quickly for a minimum loss of lubricant. If lubricant does not run out
of the hole when the plug is removed, lubricant should be added until
it does. Replace the plug as soon as the lubricant reaches the level of
the hole.

DRAIN AND REFILL
Remove the drain
plug which is at the bottom of the transmission. Allow all the
lubricant to run out before replacing the plug. Replace the case with
the correct viscosity oil. All manual transmissions use SAE 75W-90 API
quality Grade GL-5 gear lubricant. Tighten the fill hole plug to 27 ft.
lbs. (37 Nm).

So how do you know you need one if you dont know where it is?? Oil pumps rarely go bad unless the engine is sludged from lack of maintenence. After you take the oil pan off, its there hanging down. Make sure you clean or replace the pick up tube. I'm sure you can google up torque specs, for the bolts. Usually there is major engine damage by the time you figure out that there is lack of oil pressure. I would get a professionals opinion before you waste time and money replaicing the oil pump. If the engine has any unusual noise or knocking, its too late.
