The pinkish tube is the crank case breather hose. It's there to relieve pressure, if there is too much oil or the oil gets sloshed around a lot some extra oil could easily come out there.

If it is indeed coming from the breather hose I will second what everyone has said about it being cool. It's better to drip it out the breather than have the engine suck it in.
Cars recirculate the oil vapor from the crankcase vents into the intake and burn it. Doesn't hurt it if it burns it.

You're right, it doesn't hurt it.
But it displaces the nice cool air/fuel mix so you lose power.
And gets the inside of the airbox all icky :)
Only if your engine has significant blow by. Which would indicate you need new piston rings.

that small hole in the bottom of the water pump is there for a reason..it is supposed to leak coolant if there is a water pump malfunction so it gives you a visual and lets you know there is a problem..(usually indicates a water pump needs replacement) I would take it to your dealer and tell them about it...

I would greet any comments from them like "its supposed to do that on start up" with skepticism...mine certainly doesnt leak a drop of anything at start up or any other time
100% correct
