15k is coming up and in the manual it says to lubricate the driveshaft u joint. Where is it located?

The manual says that? I've got to check that out. Driveshafts on front wheel drive cars have constant velocity joints (a more complex u joint) that are sealed with rubber boots. There is nothing to lubricate. They normally last the life of the car, but if the boot gets torn, they deteriorate pretty quickly and the drive shaft is replaced.
