I have put several towels underneath to make sure it was not just a spill from a drink, But it the liquid keeps on coming back. It doesnt smell, it is pinkish which leads me to transmission fluid. Im no mechanich though.
NO gauges are on that should not be on as well.
I was wondering what steps need to be done to get rid of the leak, and if it is something serious, what i need to fix it as soon as possible.

It is most likely coolant from the heater core. Try turning the heater control valve to cold and see if you still have a leak. If it stops then you know it is the core and you will probably have to replace it because it sounds like it's leaking too much for a coolant sealant to work. Any coolant leak is serious and depending on where you live you might want heat this winter otherwise you could leave the control set to cold and wait a little while before replacing the core. I'm not sure what the time to change your heater core is but I just did one on a Honda Accord and it took over five hours as most of the dash will have to be removed to get to it. Do not try it yourself unless you know what you are doing as you can mess up the stereo, heater zone controls and let's not forget the airbags. Best of luck.

Your heater core is going out or gone. They are usually located near the firewall on the inside of the car on the passenger side. When they go, they leak antifreeze into the car. I've had this happen on 2 of my GM vehicles. Need to get it checked out soon, it can cause a major leak if you let it go too long. Good luck.

It is the heater core or if your real lucky one of the hoses is leaking and finding it's way inside the heater. If the hoses aren't leaking you can disconnect / cut the hoses and connect them together with a piece of tubing and a couple of clamps. connect the ends on the engine side not the heater. You can then get it fixed at your leasure.

It sounds like a leaking heater core. Keep an eye on the antifreeze level.

Check the heater unit and any lines behind and under dash. What color anti freeze do you have in radiator, if pink or reddish color that could indicate keaking water line especially if you have to add coolant frequently. Trans fluid is red in tint and but is hard to believe it would show inside vehicle, check under hood for any tell tale signs of trans fluid on firewall. Brake fluid is generally clear in color,engine oil is generally dark in apperrance.

it is the heater core and you need to get it fixed. Do not continue to use your heater as you will have antifreeze (the pink stuff) all over the place.

Could be engine coolant, if you use the G12 "life warranty" coolant. That stuff is pink, and the location seems likely too. Check your coolant level, and hoses going to and from your rad.

100 % heater core leak

Sounds like Cream Soda. That stuff is always coming back. The other thing it could be is that if you live in a warm climate, the plastic body panels are melting.
