Any chance you spilled windshield washer fluid on it?

I would assume it is spraying there from some where else. Maybe it's dripping from the hose going to the overflow tank.

Start the car up and let it get up to temp. Once the thermostat is open, have a look and see if anything is leaking in the area.

What is the level in your overflow tank. The coolant system is pressurized so a leak could travel some distance from a pin hole or leak.
Buon giro a tutti! - enjoy the ride!

So is your coolant that color. If not then it is either windshield washer fluid or may be from your AC if someone in the past put tracer die in it. I put my vote on wiper fluid.
