You have a antifreeze leak. Have it inspected and repaired before it becomes a bigger problem.

Antifreeze leaking from either a freeze plug on the sides of the motor or look for a leak atround the air intake manifold it could be leaking and running down the side of the motor but first guess would be freeze plugs
if plugs you need to replace it
intake has to be pulled and resealed with new gaskets

yes that's radiator fluid mate. if it's leaking halfway back when parked it's likely to be leaking from up high somewhere and running along to the lowest point before dripping. Usually an easy fix job. may only be a split hose or loose clamp. Be sure to check water pump and gasket though.

Remember that anti-freeze is poison to animals. They are attracted to it because its sweet. Get that leak fixed and be careful where you park. Anti-freeze kills the beneficial stuff in the soil and nothing will grow there.

Sounds like you have an anti Freeze leak. I would get it checked before it becomes a large leak...

Yep, that'd be coolant antifreeze.
It really depends on what exactly the problem is. You could have a loose connection on the line, or a leak.
Worst case scenario your radiator's cracked, but you'd see signs of that like rapid overheating.
