What fluid is this?

Ive been lurking for a while gathering info about my truck learning as I go. Thanks to this site I was able to fix the dreaded dipstick flange leak on my own. I now noticed a few drips under my truck while parked on a drive. I climbed under and found where the leak was coming from. Im not sure what the fluid is....maybe diesel? I think I found where it was dripping from and gave it a bit of tightening and I guess Ill see if that works or not.
Thanks Guys!

looks like a coolant leak coming out of your block heater, also looks like your oil cooler needs re sealed.

If it was leaking from the fitting on the orange cord, that is the block heater, and the fluid is coolant. It also looks as if the oil cooler o rings are seeping a little oil.

I do think it was coming from the fitting! Ill have to look into getting the O rings replaced at some point.
