If you cannot definitively determine where it came from, I wouldn't assume anything - I would have it checked.
At the very least, I wouldn't want oil on my brand new car's carpet?

Z51's have an issue coughing up crankcase oil on the right front. This happened to mine. There's a TSB on it. Can be caused by overfilling or a stuck PCV valve. Check to see if it comes out of the air intake tubes.
For more info, see the threads under major oil leak.
Red oil is confusing--using Royal Purple?

Dexcool is usually an orange color and it would be easy to compare what leaked to what is in the coolant reservoir.
It sounds like ATF, do you have an automatic transmission? If so get it checked at the dealer because there isn't a vent for the auto up front and leaking cooler lines generally don't self repair.
