Then a patient fatherly figure came on the scene and explained that, infact a green substance could have come from the Condenser. ( Green leak detecting dye mixed with oil)

Then the Grouch scared the OP to the point of uncontroled tears.

Then the patient fatherly, Saint like figure threw up his arms and poured a tall Scotch on the Rocks

Hahaha

Ok, so I'll just go ahead and rephrase my original post....

I walked into the garage and I calmly have a heart attack as I see 3 big puddles of GREEN liquid collecting on the floor. I do a little tasty tasty and it is sweet. So I assume anti freeze. I am curious to know what the temp gauge is reading, so I start her up and immediately hear "SPLATTER SPLATTER." I look underneath my car and there is a steady stream of green liquid spewing onto the garage floor. I call the wonderful folks at Urban Nissan.

Wrecker picks up my car... scratches up my front bumper ... (oh yeah, the main point I was trying to convey in this thread) ... and dealership calls me the next day to let me know that they are looking for a new radiator and will have it fixed by 4pm. (I have no idea if they actually knew what was wrong with the car yet at this point in time.)

I head on up to the wonderful world of Urban Nissan, and as they are handing me the keys, I start asking questions. The 'guy' tells me that my condensor was cracked. I ask him "how the F did that happened?" and he says "idunno".

Perhaps you can find a website that will describe this magic green liquid and post the link?

BTW, I have been a state licensed HVAC engineer for over 20 years.

Hi bill. You know whats funny... ? I almost took pictures of the 'magical green liquid' before posting this thread. However I thought to myself... "why the hell would I need to take pictures of this?" So i did not.

Silly me.

Thank Goodness, I tossed and turned all night worried sick. I beat the dog and he bit my condenser, Now I have some Green Stuff in my Driveway. Does anyone know what it could be before I take it to the Dealer?
