335i leaking red fluid

Hey guys so i was doing work under my car this passed weekend and when i took the undertray off, all the way to the right passenger side on the tray seems to have a tiny bit of reddish looking fluid. Only things above where the leak is seems to be some coolant lines and the oil cooler but i cant recall what uses this reddish colored fluid. Any ideas?

what kind of texture does the fluid have? is it oily, watery, thick? usually trans fluid is the first thing that comes to mind. have you checked all your fluids to make sure that none of them are low? could find the problem right there

I haven't checked car was involved in a accident the very next day that i discovered the leak. Its at my friends shop now. I kinda was asking just to have an idea of what i should be looking for.

Texture is thin, slightly between watery and oily
