    after searching the internet I found that it might be the "coolant bypass pipe".. will do more research on this but this looks like my problem...

    It's definitely coolant. The red crust gives it away.

    If you check behind the fan pulley, see if there is coolant leaking out of the weep holes of the water pump. That is where mine was leaking and I had to replace the water pump.
