Help identify this leak

[tspeed]

My first time under the car for an oil and filter change (after letting the dealer do it for the first three times after getting the new car) went well, but I noticed what looks like dried coolant at the bottom of the engine.

Can someone tell me if this is coolant and what this part of the engine is where it is apparently leaking?

I can't believe the dealer's service tech did not let me know or address this apparent leak?

Car is still under warranty so I plan to take it in but wanted to get a heads up first.

Hybrid fluid. Has to be.

lol


Honestly I do not know. Seems it would be trans fluid or coolant of some sort but looks too thick for coolant. If you wipe it all off and drive around for about 15 mins does it come back? Just wondering if it's really leaking or if it was something that got stuck on there.

Umm... According to one of your prior posts, your Nissan tech said it was "coolant for the CVT that was leaking due to failing gasket around that square metal plate."
