Joey-
It would be good to know the model, engine, and trans for this car.
The power steering is electric, there is no fluid.
The coolant from the factory is orange dexcool.
Red would be transmission fluid for an automatic. There is no dipstick on either the 1.8L or 1.4L automatic transmission. There is a level bolt on the side of the transmission case on the drivers side, right behind the axle.
There's a whole procedure for checking this. Check out Cruze Transmission fluid on youtube..
I'm guessing it might be the transmission lines that run from the trans to the radiator area. They tend to leak where they are crimped and transition from 3/8" metal line to rubber.
Some people have mentioned they are covered as part of the 5 year/100,000 powertrain warranty, others have said they are not.
AC Condenser is mainly refrigerant gas, with a small amount of oil. This would leave you with no AC, but wouldn't leave marks in the snow.
The tranny lines are in the front of the car and easy to inspect, not so easy to remove in winter without a heated shop. I ended up paying for mine to get replaced. $320 labor and parts for both hoses for the 1.4L. Independent shop.
Good Luck..
