Default Possible Leak?

I was doing my oil change last night and looked up her skirt at the radiator and saw what looked like coolant on the fans and a little pink build up on the reservoir itself. I haven't seen a single drop of fluid on my garage floor or anywhere that I park for that matter but it defini

tely doesn't look good. Anyone have a water pump leak with less than 60k miles? I checked the fluid level and its smack dab in the middle of the high and low marks so I am going to clean it off and watch it over the next few weeks.

That was probably caused by the dealer carelessly adding some coolant to the reservoir. It may have happened when the car was being checked-out when new before delivery. When the pink coolant dries it becomes semi dry much like cake batter.

I wouldn't be concerned about it since you haven't seen any signs of leaks and the reservoir is holding the correct amount of coolant.
