Diagnosing this leak

[jbates87]

When working on coating my frame with POR 15, I found this pink fluid leaking from what seems to be the engine block just above the center of the front axle. Any ideas on where this leak might be coming from, what the fluid is, and how serious it might be? The car is driving just fine and the leak is not enough hardly to drip.

Helps to post major services history- if you know them.

Prob coolant-( smell it) check all parts of cooling circuit and connections. Check reservoir level.

Leaks are warnings- not to be ignored

Looks like coolant. Likely water pump gasket failure. Could be higher tho, e.g., water bypass pipe gasket, oil cooler crossover hose, etc.

Leaking water pump. Or something else.
