    When I pulled out of the garage this morning I noticed a few leaks directly under the center/middle of the hood (front). Looks like some of it is a little trail that dried up and then there's a dime size drop of bloody red fluid. Would you think that this is a leak from the radiator and brakes?

    The red is possibly from power steering. If the other is dried-up it is likely condensation from A/C or maybe windshield washer solution. Coolant and brake fluid do not evaporate quickly.

    Yep, just went through this. Check your power steering reservoir level. Mine was simply a loose connection on the pump but it required the engine panel to come off to fix it.
