Green fluid is radiator fluid. So either:
A. Your radiator has too much fluid.
B. You have a slow leak.
C. Your reservoir has a blockage and your radiator hose has a leak.
D. Someone is pouring green fluid underneath your car.
Just keep an eye on your temperature gauge and make sure it doesnt go higher than it normally goes. Its also a good idea to have a mechanic look at it as soon as possible.

Well I'd say it more than likely would be coolant from an overflow tube but make absolutely sure it is just the overflow. If it isn't than have it checked out. That could spell a costly repair indeed. And with the weather turning colder if you don't keep the proper mix in the cooling system then you could have a freezing problem which will mean big bucks, which the mechanic will probably thank you for.

there are various fluids that must be leaking in that area. it must be any between here: Brake fluid, transmission fluid, engine oil, capability guidance fluid, or engine coolant. If the leak happens in basic terms whilst the engine is working, verify to work out if the aircon is working. whilst the A/C is working, condensation (water) varieties on the condenser and could drip onto the pavement under. it quite is meant to try this. Any of the different fluids pronounced could have an oily sense to them. you are able to flow slowly under the automobile and seek for the source of the leak, or you are able to open the hood and look at what's rapidly above the region of the drip. seek for the moist spot.

Uh, I'm not sure how much animals drinking the antifreeze fits in here, but okay, Stacy.
It could be hoses, your radiator, overflow bottle/connectors, a bunch of things. Find the leak, find a mechanic, and just point at it.

while it may be an overflow tube,you may also have a softened,
old or loose lower radiator hose.If it"s old, I strongly recommend
that you change the upper & lower hoses respectively,flush the
radiator & getting rid of the green antifreeze & replace it with the
red fluid(recommended for lexus/toyota engines).You can buy the
antifreexe @ your local toyota dealership not necessarily a lexus
dealership;otherwise you'd end up paying more for it.

you need to replace the lower hose and upper, the way to check if the upper hose needs to be replaced see if you can squeeze the pipe together and if you can time for a new one. See if its the tube thats leaking or the radiator. Check by taking the car to a shop and tell them to do a pressure test on the raditor.=)

i own a repair shop,and it is an over flow pipe on it,it was put down there so it wouldn't get up on the engine and make a mess on things,but this is what it is,id keep a check on the coolant in it,and make sure it stays full,it will spit out what it don't need if you over fill it,good luck i hope this help,s.

Coolant is greenish in color ...by the way don't let any animals drink the green stuff-they will die or get really sick. FYI
