could be power steering fluid or brake fluid that is contaminated.

for those of you that said there is no such thing as red anti-freeze/coolant, all GM vehicles (pontiac, chevy, GMC, etc) starting in 1996 have extended life coolant in it called DexCool. Guess what, it's red. Toyota also puts a red dye in their coolant in some years and models.

Where is it leaking? You might need to tighten something or replace a hose.
Greenish yellow stuff is probably antifreeze. Have you had yours changed recently?

Anti freeze either comes in the green color or an orange.

It could possibly be brake fluid. Take it to a mechanic to be certain because a leak is not good.

Sounds like anti-freeze. You may have a leak in a hose or the radiator.

Your anti-freeze is red?
Because at your last flush you put the red stuff in?Maybe you didn't totally flush everything.Only other thing I can think of is either your wiper fluid tank/lines are leaking or that alien in the truck cut himself.
I'm stumped....

I'm guessing it's probably coolant. Ours is yellow/brown I think..
