Default Plenum/transmission/Duel stabilizer question with Pics

1. Is this considered a pool of oil?
2. What is causing this fluid on my transmission?
3. Anybody see an issue with this makeshift dual steering stablizer?
4. What is this leak on front axle/shaft?
5. What is the leak on gas tank?

Thanks, I know I'm throwing alot out there but I'm sure their our some knowledgable people who have some of the same issues.

1. Plenum looks good but its hard to tell, the pics are real grainy.
2. That is motor oil the rear main seal is leaking, real common on every high milage vehicle, not a big deal
3. Both the stabilizers are set up with a single shear point and the setup is much weaker. It isn't dangerous if they break though. They may have been put on to combat death wobble.
4. Front axle seal is leaking, common problem
5. gas maybe - is the filler neck intact?

it appears that thats the passenger side seal leaking, right? fairly simple fix, get a kit from quad4x4.com its $100 with step by step instructions and no carrier removal required

I put the dual stabilizer in, I bought a new stabilizer and when I pulled the old one it wasn't that bad so I put both on there.

So I'm looking at rear main seal and front axle shaft leak. Thank you for your help on this.

Edit: Yes it is on the passenger side, the front diff was very low when I check it, took a whole bottle to fill it back up.
