Default Red fluid leak

Hey people, does any one know what a red fluid leaking from underneath culd be? It is more towards the passenger side. I put a clear cup to catch it and the fluid is really red(not brownish at all).

EDIT.............................................. .................................................. .................................................. ........

Took it to dealer and they said it was just coolant leaking from a loose clamped hose from underneath the turbo. I guess I could've checked that myself but it was too dark out. Anyways, I guess I just got a $60 truck wash. Thanx for all your inputs.

Check the transfer case, it uses tranny fluid. Or it could be tranny fluid from the tranny.

If it is coming from the passenger side it is probally blinker fluid.

Is that the same stuff as muffler bearing lube?

Did you check the ground clearance under your truck? You might be draggin something... [8D]

No, my truck is not really lowered, that is just a photo-chop. I guess I will make a trip to the dealer today. Thanx for all your inputs.
