fluid leak

Hello guys, you've all been great help before, so I thought i'd ask another question -


My 2011 335i xdrive (e90) has a small leaking fluid at the floor of the engine bay, right underneath the connector for the driver side's headlight.

I noticed my coolant level light came on yesterday, So I topped it off back to just under max level, ran the car, but still couldn't find any leaks near the expansion tanks or coolant lines.

This was the only leak I found. Unfortunately I'm not sure how to get access to that part of the engine bay, and it's pretty much impossible to take a picture due to all the connectors in the way.

Anyone think this is coolant related, or have an idea of what it could be?

Thanks.

Your drivers light is on the left side and your coolant reservoir is on the right side.
where exactly was the leak?
and are you sure it was coolant and not oil?

Is this an automatic trans? The transmission heat exchanger is located under the radiator on the left side of the car.
