2003 ML350 inspiration
2003 ml350 just started leaking fluid

The fluid is rainbowed colored and seems to be leaking from the front passenger side. Does anyone have a clue of what it could be and what i can do to fix?

Color alone may not explain what the leak is.
Gas can give this color when it's on the asphalt / concrete.
How much is leaking? Is it leaving a puddle?
Smell?
Dab the fluid with a paper towel or finger to get an idea of the feel and true color.

Purely speculative guessing at this moment until you get on top and under to see where it is leaking.
Best to place a large cardboard section under the entire engine bay area (as suggested recently by one of the members, goto home depot and ask one of the staff people there if they have old fridge cartons they are recycling/disposing of and use these under the engine bay) to narrow down and trouble shoot your "rainbow liquid"
area to where this is emanating from.
