Bottom radiator leaking slightly
Hello everyone! I’m new to the fount and glad to be here! I have a 04 Dodge Ram 1500 that I dearly love lol. I recently noticed a slight drip on my driveway and noticed the bottom of the radiator had some pinkish fluid that had dripped down. What fluid is this and what could be the issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Most likely engine coolant. Could be trans fluid. Possibly power steering fluid but unlikely. Is it oily to the touch?
Keep in mind your cooling fan will blow the leaking substance all over the place. Clean up the mess you can see either by washing the area down or wiping well with a rag. Let the engine idle until its reached its operating temp..shut er down and do a close examination for a leak. Quite possible leak is a result of those two spring clamps observed in the pictures.
