Default Possible coolant leak

Got an 09 Dodge which has just recently started to leak a slightly orange fluid from the front of the oil pan. The leak is from above the oil pan but I can't find the source. The fluid itself seams like coolant. Anybody ever had this issue or know what's going on? Thanks in advance.

Default Coolant leak

That is exactly the same thing that happened to me at around 26000 miles and it was the water pump. Had the dealer replace it.
