Thats the area where the overflow exits the car. You probably had an air pocket that created a belch out the overflow.. Top off the coolant and you should be good to go.. Just keep an eye on it.
BTW- Water pumps need to be changed every 3 years to resist issues stemming from cracked heads due to broken impeller blades.

Just keep an eye on this, lots of very early intermix issues begin with a symptom like this, especially if the car is a '99
