Colorful leaking fluids

Hi, I have some slow leaks on my 2006 C2S. In the mornings when I pull out of the garage, I see this... What is leaking? Thus is what's left on the ground from my car.

Pink usually = coolant.
The brown liquid looks like oil, but it's hard to be certain from the pic.

This cover is the rear of the car pulled into the garage head first. Wouldn't the coolant leak be on the left side of the car near the reservoir? The coolant is full and has been for a month. The oil pan is clean and no leaks directly on under the oil pan. Could it be power steering fluid? That looks like the side it's on?

If the .2 cars are configured the same as the .1s, the water pump would be about where the pink drips are if that's opposite of where the coolant reservoir is. A picture of underneath the car where we could see the drips forming will help us help you.

My car is a 997.1 S. The coolant tank is on the left side of the car (I am standing behind the car). On the right side of the car is the chs fluid reservoir for power steering fluid. I think the brown looking fluid may be coming from ? No oil anywhere or around the oil plug. Will get under the car this morning with a camera.
