Have this leak. This vehicle uses that pink coolant. That is the oil pan. Water pump/gasket? Any guidance would be awesome!

Yep, it looks like coolant to me. Can you feel it to confirm? If so, here is how to change the water pump out and you should do the timing belt and tensioners as well.

Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on. It is for a Pacifica but it is the same engine.
