Leak near my front right tire?

I've got some kind of a leak near my front right tire. The liquid has a red tint. Any idea what it might be?

I think its the coolant. The liquid in the tank is way below the minimum line and the liquid inside has a reddish tint. I guess I need to make a trip to the dealer.

Trip to the dealer is the best idea, sounds like it could be a leaky hose.

I am debating calling road side assistance or adding some coolant and driving it in my self. I think it can hold. The dealer is about 20 min away. The earliest they can look at it is on Monday and the loaner wont be a P car. What a PITA!
