Nice car in the best colour, Sky Blue.

All the wheelarch liners are held in with rivets, its because the alarm module lives behind the one on the drivers side.

The steering fluid reservoirs swell with age on these cars as well, then they leak around the seam, so fluid around the area you have it is normal, a new reservoir and a clean and all should be good.

When topping up the reservoir, make sure you use the correct fluid, yours could (should!) be green Volvo fluid, but if anything has been changed on the steering system in the past, it may be red ATF. Just don't mix the two, or it will knacker the rack!!
