Sounds like coolant but unless somebody has changed it, it should be dexcool, and dexcool is a light red color.

Simple way to find out.
Open coolant bottle and see what color the fluid in there is. Sounds like coolant to me

I know what it is.
believe it or not its common and happens to every vehicle in the winter, its the water from the snow it hits your exhaust and then drips onto the snow in the yellowish/neonish color hence why its all over and around your car mostly if you follow the exhaust its right on spot with it

But how would it get yellow, that makes zero sense unless you have a yellow painted exhaust pipe (not likely).

the color change takes place simply out of contact with the hot, rusty heat-shield.
cuz this happened after i had my car running while i was wiping it off

The only way to find out for sure is to get under the car, look and see where it's coming from.
