Yellowish-Green Fluid???
So does anyone know what fluid is yellowish-green in these cars? We had some snow this past weekend and after I moved the cars around to clear out the driveway, I noticed a small spot in the snow of this bright yellow/green fluid. I moved the car again and another small spot was found.
It looks like it is dripping from somewhere and running down the exhaust to about the middle of the car and dripping off the exhaust. I first thought it would be coolant, but I checked the reservoir and not only was it full almost to the max line, but the coolant was blue.
What else could it be? What sucks is the closest Infiniti dealer is about an hour and 15 minutes away.
Thoughts?

I am not sure. Do these cars have that color transmission fluid? Most of my previous cars had a reddish fluid. I am still under factory warranty since it is a 2010 with like 23000 miles so I am not overly worried, but I would rather it not be anything too serious.

Yellow green is definitely coolant. That's the color in my G.
Check your radiator hose and make sure it is clamped correctly. I have heard of stories where coolant leaking out because the radiator hose wasn't properly clamped or there was a tear.
Transmission fluid is red, brake fluid is clearish-yellow, power steering fluid is also red, and oil is obviously dark brown.

Had the same thing under my winter beater honda civic and my neighbours altima, after a snow storm I always run my window defrost which in return starts the a/c which leaks water so you get my guess. Both cars have no known leak issues either. Hmmm.... I wouldn't worry about it. My .o2 cents
