It might have been hydraulic oil, in the below picture you have 3 different types of aviation hydraulic oil. My dad used to work as a heavy machines operator before he retired and the machines required hydraulic oil to be re-filled and it was also pink colour:

There's a video on youtube of this happening, It comes from the engine and is a sort of dried blood red colour. I think addman is right and that it's hydraulic fluid or maybe even the coolant (dunno if that was red though)
