AC fluid or radiator fluid?
I hit an 18 wheeler tire on the Interstate yesterday. Destroyed the front bumper, bent the ac condenser and broke the lower drive side of the radiator support. I have a light green fluid leaking slowly and I first thought it was from the radiator due to the color, but it appears as though it may be coming from the condenser.
I thought freon was colorless. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/maxima....0e871e70c8.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/maxima....f94fac0849.jpg |
I would say that is radiator coolant if its the same color as in the radiator. Freon or other fluids used in air conditioning turns to a gas at room temperature, so if that leaked out as a liquid it would quickly turn to a gas.

I'm pretty certain that's radiator coolant. You more than likely have the green stuff in the lower part of the radiator and when it got smashed it leaked out. A/C freon will come out as a gas and will be extremely cold and will turn what it touches white with frost.

Check your cvt fluid level. Our 7th gens have a cvt cooloer on the radiator and lines go from it to the filtee by the drivers side wheel.
Cvt fluid is light green. |
I totally forgot, some CVT fluids are green. My last 2 fluid changes it was oil colored. But for certain we know it's not freon.
