How much for those fix could be?

Neither of those is really a leak. The top picture shows the power steering resevoir - you need a new cap gasket perhaps.

The bottom two show the oil filter housing. Although the housing's gasket where it seats against the engine block often leaks, the pictures just show some leakage from the cap's o-ring gasket, or more likely spillage while replacing the filter.

Do I have active steering? If I need to replace power steering fluid reservoir.

You need to replace the o-ring in both caps. Should take 2 minutes and lighten you of a whole 5 dollars.
