Redish watery and oily leak

Noticed a small wet patch just infront of the drivers side front wheel
Its red and slightly oily
Coolant is red and bottle is directly above i carnt see a discharge pipe. Level is on cold fill line.
The power steering is dark brown
I dont know where or what colour the transmission is?
I did use the window washer 1/2 hour previous
Theres a small rad above also whats that for?
Had driven for an a hour and hadnt driven hard.
Looked with torch from above and below think a might need to take off the sump cover ?
Anyone know what this could be?

I think the transmission oil cooler is across the centre underneath the main rad. It could be coming from that, there is a pipe entering from both sides. That said a proper oil or transmission leak would be mostly oil with little or no water as it would form a creamy slime...

My thoughts are that it is probably from the washers. The tank is in front of the passenger wheel by if you had washed the windscreen it could have run off to there. Coolant leaks normally reveal themselves in the centre from the rad area. Oil in that fluid is most definitely bad news! 06MY 4.4 V8 Autobiography Cairns Blue with Navy & Parchment Interior

Removed the underbody it appears leak is coming from the hose connection on the small rad on the left (looking from the front) I've squeezed the hose and it makes the antifreeze coolant in the expansion filler bottle move. So I presume the small rad is also water coolant ?
