Maintenance question

Who would be the best riced vendor for getting the filters, belt, and fluids for my 03 MCS? Would prefer one site, since it is a little easier on shipping. I know the oil and air filters will need replacing. I am not sure if there is a fuel filter much less where the cabin filter is, and what the interval on it is. And does my MCS have a tranny filter, have had cars in the past that did. i am about 64000 miles (est). Should I change the belt on it and how easy is it? And also, In the two links, I know one is the tranny, are the two hex bolts where you drain your tranny fluid and refill it? And in the 2nd, i had a slight liquid fluid from the bolt in the thing, I tightened it and no leak, what is that, and was it a bad thing it was leaking? Thanks for any help.

www.minimania.com seems to have most of the stuff when it comes to maintaining your car. Barring that you can try the dealer.

That thing in your second link is the aircon compresser. It might have been just water. If it doesn't leak anymore, it should be fine.
