Default Small Pink Puddle

Noticed a small puddle, about the size of a quarter under the engine compartment. Pink fluid. Will be the weekend until I have time to investigate. Anybody experienced this before?

Pink would suggest to me coolant...but then I have also seen windshield washer that colour. Are you sure it's not "red" brake fluid?

Tranny Fluid? Power steering?
Is it an auto?

Is the pan still installed under the engine? Is the puddle in the center, front, back, side, close to the transmission? Could be the transmission electrical connector leak.

Seemed to be towards the rear of the engine compartment. It is an automatic and the engine pan is still in place. I had planned an oil change for this weekend so should be able to identify the culprit then. Wasn't brake fluid so I was leaning toward tranny or P/S fluid. I'll report back this weekend. Thanks for the input.
