Yeah, he has nothing to worry about as long as the car can move by itself without being pushed.

You don't know anyone that could look at it? It's impossible for us to say for sure. It's probably coolant though.

Which is unimportant, the AC might not be as cold but he can fix that later. Tell him he can drive the car just fine.

Tell him to stop using blue cinnamon fluid in place of coolant, that can't be good.

That's most likely the blinker fluid. No worries.

Yeah, he should probably get some extra if it's a serious leak:

You should be fine - the best test is to get it out on the highway and take it up to 65 as fast as you can. If you hear rattling, that's the rotator splint. If you don't hear rattling, slam on the brakes (make sure nobodies behind you) to see if it's a leak from the sway bar lubrication reservoir (dipstick is usually located next to the transmission fluid, check the levels before and then after).
Good luck bro!
