Start by checking your fluids. Power steering, oil, coolant, and trans fluid. Try to absorb some in a white paper towel. Hard to tell by the pic. But it looks like the front main seal. Find the trans lines and follow them look for leaks. Same with power steering.

Doesn't look pinkish to me. Looks like coolant. From the water pump.

Yeah, rusty coolant at that....... I would strongly suspect a neglected cooling system.
