Default Check Engine Light!!

Check engine light came on last night. I have about 57800 miles on my 99.5 A4. Is it coming on to remind me about a 60000 mile service or something or do I really have a problem? Is there any way to tell without bringing it to the dealer? Thanks

I noticed the pinkish reddish fluid nearest the ECU has just dropped below the Minimum level. Would that trigger the CEL? Also should I be driving it with the light on? Thanks for all your help.
