leaking
Lot's of other threads about this... It's most likely coolant.
It happened to me. I even use the red stuff and I was perplexed - because something on the components turns it green as it drips down over the compressor. Maybe a chemical engineer can chime in on the organic acid reactions???
A simple mirror under the water pump pulley to inspect the weep hole is a lot easier and cheaper (ie: free) than trying to chase down an A/C leak that is probably not there. (Especially if the A/C works fine!)

Mine did it. Not the green ,but thick clear yellowish oil. Then later the AC line exploded. And I mean blew upon acceleration from a light,with all kinds of vapors released .Ripped that high pressure line in half.
I replaced it all to keep moisture from getting in there. But dealing with the AC is such a huge pain, I guess I'm giving up AC. At least till I can deal with other more important stuff.

Here's what a typical A/C leak looks like: https://ls1tech.com/forums/general-m...r-leaking.html
There other fluid here my have gathered some green A/C oils around the casing and brought them to the drip party underneath the compressor, but there is a lot of liquid in the original picture that isn't the "green stuff."

The ONLY time I miss it is when it is when driving in a rainstorm (no drying defroster setting), and the windows fog up and I cannot open the windows to de-fog.
let us know how it tastes 
Just kidding. could be A/C related or coolant, I also see some oil, I think you should pressure wash the engine (gently) clean it up really well, use some paper towels and simple green (and brake cleaner if you know how to use it without melting parts) and once everything is VERY CLEAN you will notice right away where all the leaks are stemming from.

I learned this the hard way and let this leak go until I had a very serious water pump failure. New pump = everything is dry as a bone.
