1997 S90 help identify leaks!
Transmission fluid look like its coming from behind the wiring, to the right of the "x", a black plastic piece. Sensor?
Oil leaking on those 3 main bolts.
Red oil from farther toward front end. Maybe power steering?
Looks like oil possible coming from higher up? Photo taken looking up from passenger side engine area.

That plastic piece has 1-10mm bolt that I removed and oil started pouring out. I don't know what that piece is for. It doesn't have any connectors and looks like a plug of sorts. I torqued it back thinking maybe it was just not tight enough, but I see it start to seep again. I definitely think that is the source of my big transmission leak, but I don't know what the part is or what it does other than act as a plug?

Thanks! How do you think I should go about resealing it? Drain the tranny fluid so it is dry then apply sealer to the whole surface underneath the part? Do you think a bigger washer would help as well to displace force evenly? Any recommendations on products for rear seal fixes that stop the leak?

Ok will do. Before the leak I got mobile 3309 atf. Can I put regular walmart atf?

Your 4th picture (shows bell housing vents) also shows the coolant drain at the far right. Loosen that up, put a pan under it and most of the coolant in that part of the system will drain. I replaced those two hoses with silicone ones from ipd because they are much more resistant to oil. Once you replace those seals, most of the oil leak will be gone!
