moakley	2010 Ford F-150 Platinum has pinkish greasy drip near firewall. Any ideas what this might be? Out of warranty. F-150 has 39K miles. Has been dealer serviced; they installed a new O ring or clamp at the rear end but OK otherwise. Should we go back to dealer or would NAPA center be OK?

Sounds like possibly transmission fluid. Your coolant is yellow so that's not it and motor oil is dark brown. If the dealer did some transmission line work, then I'd go back to them but if their work was something else then Napa Ctr. should be able to at least identify the issue.
