Today I popped the hood and was checking fluid levels and I noticed this on front passenger side. Anyone know what would have caused this "orange" color stuff on the black hoses and all around? It seems all my fluid levels are the exact same, no warnings from car (no CEL) and car seems to be running perfectly fine. Any ideas??? Thanks.

Its a 2010 Mazda 3 Sport 2.5

the pics look yellow;low, you description says orange. If its orange you have a coolant leak if its an older model.
 
Start your car while looking carefully at that area. If you do not see anything leaking, take the car for a spin to get the coolant up to normal operating temps. Pop the hood and look again while the engine is running. If nothing is found, shut down the engine and keep looking at that area.
Auto repair shops have a cooling system pressurizer that brings the pressure up to normal operating pressure without having to run the engine. This is a safer way to examine for leaks, since the coolant doesn't need to be at high temperatures.
