Sounds like power steering fluid to me leaking from the pump area, hose probably.

It's to the left of power steering pump and there is a grey brown oil underneath air filter box and leaking on floor below driver lower bumper grill it's not red fluid and smells like dirty oil.

Sounds like the carbon canister to me.

I try my best it's coming from a black circle thin with a small oval exit at the bottom facing out wards on the drivers side of the car to the left of the fog light you can also see this thing from the top just in front of air filter it's covered in oil.
