The only "pink" fluids are:
1. Transmission fluid
2. Power steering fluid
3. Some types of washer fluid (rare)
4. Some types of AntiFreeze-Coolant are red, although most (80%) are lime or yellow/green.
The most common fluid leak from the head is coolant and is usually form a gasket leak. You say heads as in plural, which I take to mean a V6 engine. But since having both head having a leaking gasket is remote I assume that there was a typo and you are referring to one head.
Are you loosing fluid from the radiator and/or having overheating problem, then suspect the head gasket, It is a major repair.
Post comment with additional info, ie exact location of fluid and how much. Is it leaking to the floor? When does it leak the most, standing cold or engine running hot? Doesthe fluid feel oily or more just like water?

The horrible smell is antifreeze leaking from the heater core. This is the more serious of two leaks. You might be able to fix it with some stop leak. You can also tighten the power steering hoses.
Should be installed as a liquid (simply meaning inverting the cylinder) in the low side service port(if and when the compressor is running).This is always the larger hose/accumulator on passenger side heading into the interior compartment/firewall. High side pipes are smaller tubing heading towards the front condenser/reciver dryer and run superheated rerigerant so they get hot...low side always feels cold.....
do not for any reason use stop leak that is the worst thing you can do for your van.it stops up heater cores,blockes hoses, and stops up the coils in your radiater. you will need to replace the head gaskets
