Red fluid leak?

No speculation. If it says ATF and it's under the hood, it's the power steering reservoir.

It's been 9 days.... what did the dealer say? It's only 50 miles, not 500!

I haven't had time to take it to the dealer yet. I checked the PS fluid level and it says its full. I haven't seen any more red dots in the snow either so maybe it's a very small leak. I doubt the transmission would be leaking after only a year. And if it's leaking then they will probably have to replace it anyway. I'll probably take it up with them when I bring it in for service next month.
