Thanks everybody. I checked the blinker fluid. And the tire fluid, and the speaker fluid, too, because one of the speakers was sounding a little funny. All fine.

No, slugger, this is not my first car. Yes, I am aware that a lot of coolant is green, but the coolant in the box is not, and I couldn't think of any other bright green fluids in the car. Hence the question. At any rate, there hasn't been any more leaking, so who knows, maybe it was a dog. If the temperature outside ever rises above 10 below zero, I'll take a closer look.

I doubt it came from your car. Do you have other cars in your fleet or did someone visit you recently? What was the quantity of fluid?

I haven't laughed this hard in along time!
Thanks for the entertainment guys.
I have to guess its coolant/antifreeze, although in Cali we just use plain old water from the hose!

But I do like the Gremlin Theory! Someone must have gotten one wet and they have multipied!

No, you're supposed to use Evian bottled water! Everyone knows that!

Evian?.....NO NO NO... the gremlins really like that stuff, they get really really fat and gum up the carrier bearings in your muffler....

The first sign that you have an infestation of fat gremlins is that your exhaust will start sounding like a ___ breaking wind....!
