Unidentified Fluid underneath car?!?

ok new washer came today so i had to move my car. It'd had been sitting there all night since Wednesday night. Previously my dad's van was there. I moved it and spotted this:




if you cant tell its bright green. so first thing i thought was coolant. Well I dont have green coolant in my car. I flushed it last november with the good stuff. I cant think of any other fluid that would be green in nature and that would come from relatively where the transmission is. last i checked trans fluid is red. i've never heard of green a/t fluid. it might be from my dad's van but i thought i should double check with the ms crowd..(van = pontiac transport)


thanks

It's coolant. Could be from either car. I converted to the G-05 coolant myself and my coolant looks almost exactly like what is sitting on your driveway.

As hot as it is pay attention to your temp gauge and try to get it fixed asap...

Where was the drip in relation to the car? It looks like a drip from the water pump to me... Check the front of the pump by putting a paper towel directly under it next to the small hole in the front.
