Strange leak? No leak?

After-week of not touching the car, when I pulled out of the garage, to hit car show in downtown Chicago, I remember last week driving through snow storm, thought Maybe its just water, I wiped with rag - looks orange. (not oil)

I pulled the car out of the garage, and let it sit until fully warmed up. I put piece of cardboard under: no leak

after 70 miles today, sitting in the garage, no leak, no coolant drop in reservoir. no overheat, no warning lights.

I believe our coolant color is Blue right? do we run any orange color fluid? Strange !

my bad, True, It should be pink. I just checked coolant bottle that I used few months ago to top it off (clutch change) I'm sure coolant is still original. i think Only_way is just drive it, enjoy the car, and not worry and keep checking.
