Green fluid under 01 SE

Check your power steering fluid... is that green?

Hmmm , I wonder what it could be ???

Any more "guesses" ???

I'd guess it's either grog or cream d'mint. But, he'd have to be drinking too much first, then run over the bottle.

awwwwww, C'mon guy's , y'all can do better that this.

What, do you expect to point out _where_ this coolant leak is coming from?

I just returned from the dealer; the problem was diagnosed as a leaking high pressure line from the A/C compressor; the fluid was refrigerant oil (bright yellowish green). They had to order parts; the repair under warranty is scheduled for a week from tomorrow.

Original posting:

Last Wednesday I found an 8" diameter puddle of bright greenish fluid on my garage floor under the right front of my 01 Maxima SE (22,000 miles). At first, I thought it was coolant, but when I wiped it up, it was of an oily consistency. I checked under the car, and could see drips on the bottom of the

A/C compressor (below the alternator). It hasn't leaked this much since, but there are still small drops under the compressor. The A/C still works OK, but could possibly be a bit cooler.

Since the car is still under warranty, I made an appointment with the dealer (a week's wait!) to have it checked out. So, I'm wondering if this is the compressor oil, and what possibly may be the problem; also what the fix may include. I'd like to be armed with more information when I go to the dealer this coming Wednesday. TIA

On a label under my hood, Compressor Lubricant is named as "NISSAN UV Luminous Oil Type S (KLHOO-PAGSO)"

The bright green is a fluoro (day-glo) tracer material, to make it easy to see leaks. (luminescent). Usually brighter than antifreeze. Lucky you are under warranty. Bob

works OK, but

Here's a hint. It's not coolant.

So it isn't. It's sad that Nisstech thinks he's cute by acting like the group instructor. You related?

Thanks for the compliment.
