Default what's this green fluid?

I noticed while under the truck looking for the clicking sound this thick green fluid, it is fluorescent green in color and about the thickness of maple syrup. I put a drop of the fluid on my finger and it didn't seem to be as bright green as it is on the sway bar but it still appears to be different than any fluids I am familiar with.

also it appears to be coming from the point between the tranny bell housing and the oil pan, just to the right (and one small drop to the left) of the exhaust resonator/muffler thing. never seen these drops in my parking spot so this appears to be fairly new.

also I checked the tranny fluid dipstick and it was the maroon color, and the oil dipstick and the oil looked clean.

Antifreeze is the only auto fluid I know of that is anywherre close to that. Or some kind of paint. Is it coming out of the vehicle or did you splash into something?

Smell? Taste? Take a sample.

just keep your fingers crossed that it doesn't turn into a teenage mutant ninja rover.
perhaps it's antifreeze mixed with a grease? it is awfully thick to be antifreeze, but it's the right color.

The way it was stringy over to the other part was wierd. Maybe the antifreeze reacted with something. I would wipe it all off and see if it comes back again.

I agree with the TMNT Rover, shoot I would love a nun-chuch swinging/ bo staff smacking/ sai stabbing Rover. Not to mention the turtle shell would be great off roading
