The Transmission fluid stick is located toward the back of the engine on the drivers side. Check on a level surface when the engine is hot and the vehicle is in "Park". Don't add fluid if within the crosshatch marks. Be sure to use the correct fluid if adding. Check your owner's manual for the correct Mercon fluid. My 2001 taurus with the 3.0 engine uses Mercon V (Mercon 5) only.

The Brake fluid can be visually checked. The master cylinder reservoir is also located on toward the back of the engine on the driver's side

Brake fluid reservoir - the cap will usually say "USE ONLY DOT-3 BRAKE FLUID", and is almost always located near the firewall between the back end of the engine bay and the front seats.

Symptoms low clutch fluid
The clutch fluid is also your brake fluid. If it is low then you have a leak somewhere, could be your slave cylinder, or even brake pads are low

When I put the clutch down it squeals I am thinking it needs transmission fluid but can't find where to put it
I don't believe that you would need more transmission fluid if you have a squeel (but for future reference clutch fluid is located with the brake fluid and uses brake fluid DOT 3). Squeeling is usually a tall tell sign that your clutch or pressure plate is going out. Also for future reference the actual transmission fluid will be on the side of the transmission and should say oil, if not it is usually 3 to 5 inches from the lowest point on the transmission and may take a certain weight (80-90W, 75-90W, etc.

Where do i locate the hole to check and fill the transmission fluid in a manual transmission for a 93 ford probe gt. v6
there is not transmission fluid in a manual transmission, only a pressure clutch that should have a canister located on the firewall under the hood. Not a big canister. Smaller than the brake fluid canister. And it takes brake fluid. If your clutch is working fine your fluid level is probably fine. Usually only have problems with them when the slave cyl. gets a leak. And if it were leaking your clutch would probably fail.

Where is the transmission fluid located
Tranny fluid- there should be a dipstick with a handle on it under the hood somewhere. They usually say transmission on the handle. Check the fluid while the motor is running, there will be marks on the dipstick to tell you the correct level.
Brake fluid- simply pull the cap off of the resivor and make sure the fluid is to the top.

WHERE IS THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CONTAINER LOCATED ON A 2002 C240. IF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE GEAR SHIFT WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK COULD IT BE TRANSMISSION FLUID NEEDED?
Tranmission fluid is inside the transmission with I "dip stick" to pull out and check the fluid level.

Did you step on the brake first?
A lot of cars make you step on brake before you can shift out of park for safety reasons.
