I noticed a green fluid on some fresh snow in my driveway that I parked on top of yesterday, a bright yellow-green, but more green than yellow. I checked a couple other spots where I was parked later in the day, and nothing. I don't think any other cars had been parked there, didn't see any other tire tracks anyway. Short of a dog coming up the driveway and doing his business there (although I didn't see any dog tracks either), any idea what it could be?

06 xB, 17k miles. Short of oil and gas, all the fluids in the car are from the factory.

Thanks.

Anti-freeze? it's the only green liquid I know of.

It could be your Antifreeze, that is usually a bright neon green color. The stuff that came in my tC was red though, but we dont get snow around here.

sounds like antifreeze to me

Factory coolant in all toyota vehicles are a red, some like a dark burgundy, & some like a hot pinkish. There is no green fluid in any of the vehicles, unless someone put it in after factory. I would move the car to some fresh snow & see what happens, it may not be your vehicle.

Antifreeze would be the only green fluid, but yea, the factory coolant isn't green...
It might be an injured gremlin...

It could be brake fluid also. If it is brake fluid be careful it will eat paint like there's no tomorrow (any hydraulic fluid will).

^^^Brake fluid? I doubt it...

I doubt it as well, but it is an option.

I just thought of something else green in our cars...A/C flourescent dye! If the A/C system has a leak, a black light will see it and determine location of the leak... :D

its probably not the brake fluid, are you getting any OBD lights? If the brake fluid was leaking wouldnt you be getting a break light?

^ It's definitely not brake fluid. Seems like Emilio is right on the money... if the coolant is stock, then it's not that. Other fluids are pretty obvious.
