The clause "since you left our house early" is an adverb clause (of cause). Why the early departure caused the car to be washed is not clear. If not for 'early' the clause could just as easily be one of time, "since you left the house" being the time after which the car was washed.

---

The sentence is not only awkward but the usage of the word since is not appropriate and ambiguous. This occurs when transliterations of any Indo Aryan or Indo Burmese generic language is used to express it in English semantics.

The word since would imply a time from some moment to the present:

eg: I have been working since nine o'clock.(the action is till the present moment)

I washed since early morning X (does not extend the time agreement)

1. The word since can be preposition to mean before or after a specific time in a sentence.

2. It could be used as a conjunction to mean because or from the time that.

3.It could be used as an adverb to mean since that timeor event We washed the car is the first sentence with the conjunction since to connect the second sentence : you left our house early.

The sentence to qualify with a subordinate clause can be restructured:

The car was washed since you left our house early morning . (adverb clause of reason)

Does the sentence she wanted to leave early or she wanted to stay overnight use a dependent clause?

I find it difficult to figure out what your question means. If you are asking if the sentences: "She wanted to leave early or She wanted to stay overnight?" contain dependent clause, the answer is NO. "She wanted to leave early." and "She wanted to stay overnight." are both independent clauses. the OR used to connect the two clauses is a coordinate conjunction. you can tell if the other clause is a dependent clause if the conjunction used is a subordinating conjunction.


Is She wanted to leave early or she wanted to stay overnight A dependent clause?

a dependent clause is a phrase that cannot stand alone in a sentence and both of those phrases are complete thoughts, so no, those are independent clauses.
