Default 2012 Altima Sedan oil has red color

Checking the oil level, I noticed that the oil had a red color.
The only red vehicle fluid that I know of is transmission fluid.
I have the 2.5 engine with CVT.

I'm not a mechanic but do all the maintenance on my cars.
I was not aware of a fluid path between the oil pan and the transmission.

Also, almost daily, somewhere between 25 and 35 mph, I hear a growling (grinding) sound like gears not meshing smoothly.

Any ideas or knowledge of these issues would be greatly appreciated.
