Leak

I came out to go to work this morning and noticed a puddle under my radiator area. I have posted two pictures and was wondering if you all had seen anything like this and what it could be before i go home tonight and try to see if I can tell where its coming from.

thanks

If that's dark red in color, which it appears to be, it's transmission fluid.

If it's leaking, you may be looking at replacing the radiator. Find where the leak is coming from

Can't tell anything with these pics. The only thing I can suggest is climb under her and start poking around to find where it's coming from. If it is water and it's that dark. You differently haven't been taking care of the maintenance on her. Start by checking all the hoses, radiator and water pump. After finding the problem flush the crap out of the entire cooling system.
