A leak and a lousy defroster on the 240 DL 200 1990

Hi all - I'm looking for some advice on two recent issues with our wagon. First, we have a slow leak of some sort, toward the center of the engine. When the car sits overnight, in the morning we've noticed a small spot on the cement beneath the car. It doesn't look like oil - doesn't seem to have a color or strong odor, and it gradually fades after a couple of days. It reminds me of what the power steering fluid leak on my '82 245 wagon looked like in its early stages, years ago - do these wagons have common leak problems? Any suggestions on what to check/look for?
Additionally, we seem to have a weak defrost. The blower vents facing the passenger seating and foot area give plenty of volume - the defrost vents, for some reason, give no volume of air passing through at all. I've used the AC on muggy days to some avail in drying off the fog, but now that colder NE mornings are upon us I'd like to find a solution. Any ideas readers could offer would be much appreciated!! Many thanks...
