Recomendations for dealership issue I think Imay have

As some of you know I got my timing belts and water pump replaced about two weeks ago. Well Ive been noticing spots under my car after its been sitting for a while. I think the new water pump they put in is leaking coolant. It is kindof sticky too. I cant smell the coolent smell though. Anyway when they change the water pump the put all new coolent in and my coolent resevoir was full. Now my resevoir is almost empty. Plus I check the engine to see if I could see anything leaking. I notice behind the passenger wheel the pulley just above the passenger drive axel that it is soaked. The liquid does have a red tint to it, but it was hard really to tell since it was dark out and I used a flash light. But im pretty sure it is coolent. But to make sure i put the car in the garage so i could tell in the morning. What do you guys think and what do you think they may have done wrong. I had no leaking before they worked on the car. Im just afraid they may try to screw me over in paying more money to fix their mistakes. Plus I told them to replace the water pump even if it didnt need replacing. So Im afraid that might come back on me making them fix stuff that didnt need fixing to begin with. I will have to call them after new years too cause im sure they are closed tommorrow.

Well now Im not really sure if it really is. I havent seen it leaving any puddles lately. and I took the wheel off and got a good look at the pully i was talking about. I wiped it dry and it was just black dirt. No red in it. I guess ill just pay attention to it and see if it gets wet again and keep an eye on the coolent levels. If it gets wet again I guess Ill take it in and have them check it.

It might have just been whatever spilt out when they changed the pump. :D

Yeah I know they probably spilled a lot of it but it should have all burned off by now. I actually dont think its coolent anymore. I checked it again today and it was wet again. I think its oil and grease. Im not sure if I have a engine leak or what. It may even be grease from the pulley. I guess Im gonna let it go for now. Im gonna keep whating it and if i gets really bad I may have someother problem. Its not coolent though. Its kindof yellowish looking and it doesnt smell like coolent. Doesnt really have a smell at all. Oh well it will buff out.
