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.

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.

06 COBALT SS supercharged COOLANT LEAK
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?

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.

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.
