Thats what I'm thinking as well. Between some type of lubricant or a tracer dye in the A/C system (PAG oil is blue iirc), I can't think of anything else off the top of my head that would leak green.

 

Did any of you guys read my post or what? It's no leak.

I run an auto repair shop. I get 10 calls every snowstorm asking me what the green/yellowish "fluid" seen in the snow is.

A buildup of salt, water minerals combined with exhaust rust produces it. It looks like someone pissed on the snow but with just a slightly greener color to it.

 

I think jony is just trying to find anything wrong with his car so he can get a SS.TC

 

i read it. i find it odd though

 

a/c systems have a greenish yellow black light dye in them. but if anything is leaking its not going to leave puddles.

 

i have an ls and i also had a lime green colored fluid in the snow today so i called my local dealer and they said theres nothing green in the car so hes like i have no idea lol what help chevy dealers are!

 

HAHAHAHA

 

We finally had a dry day last night so I snapped these pics. The only area where it looks like something is leaking ..axle grease?

 

axel grease is brown like oil i beleive,unless cobalts use diffrent kind of oil...i knw differantals use green grease..

 

IF theirs something GREEeeN...
In your neighborhooood..

 

two things are green in these cars.

maybe three. if she has progressive hpv.


one. is the dye used in the a/c system {which im currently leaking for some fucked up reason}

second is the grease in the axle boots.

 

did you see my pics?

 

yepo. check the axle boots.

if the ac codenser is fine and no hissing noise is comming form it. it's the axle boots.

 

Hey there,

First of all it might be my vehicle that you were talking about. I have a coolant leak on my 06 cobalt ss/sc thus leaving green trails. I know this because it shows on my HUD on that Information System thing on my dash and it says low coolant. The color of transmission fluid for my cobalt is a BROWNISH RED but it is pretty yellowish before I had it inside the transmission case, and the COOLANT was GREENISH of color inside the reservoir. Moving on.

Can someone PLEASE give me good links of USEFUL INFORMATION (e.g COOLANT SYSTEM DIAGRAM, HOW TO DO A COOLANT FLUSH, HOW TO SEAL LEAKING COOLANT, PART MIXING COOLANT+WATER) for the 06 ss sc, I am about to trace where it might be leaking tomorrow. Maybe snap a couple of pics and create a HOWTO.

Thanks a lot.

 

Holy thread revival batman!

 

[QUOTE=JonyyB;2049852]It’s snowing like crazy and pulling in the driveway I noticed a trail of green stuff like antifreeze, but our cars use the red coolant so wtf am I leaking?
06 SS/SC bdw

I have a 2009 Cobalt and it is leaking small amounts of green fluid on my driveway and it isn't snowing here in California. It is coming from the A/C connection block to the cooling radiator. When I move the hoses I hear air escaping and the A/C is no longer blowing cold air. I don't know what is causing the bolts to back out or the seal to give out but I plan to tighten them and see if it stops before paying GM to tighten them for me. Here is a link to the photos.
