I got a '00 ITR and it was park in my garage for about two weeks. Once I've started it everything was fine, until I notice there was a green fluid under my car on the driver side. Do any of g'all know what might be wrong with it?

 

You ran over some Gatorade?

Edit: Ok in all seriousness look for coolant leaks as the next poster pointed out. Check the radiator drain plug, too.

radiator fluid? you can distinctly smell antifreeze. the color is pretty unique too. check the lower radiator hose as well as other hose connection places and make sure it hasn't slipped off some causing a small leak.

 

I dont think is radiator fluid, because is more of a water base. And the fluid I found was more of an oily base.

 

Green is most likely coolant.....just check all you connections, maybe leaky headgasket? I know theres oil in the AC system but I don't think it's green...

 

well i don't know of ANY motor or trany oil that's green dude, so that leaves one thing it can be, how about go spot where the leak is coming from and come back and let us know what you found, then it'll be easier for us to help you

it's like saying "expletive i just poured a bowl of Captain Crunch and have no milk, what do i do... ??"

 

It might be your water pump since it's on the driver side but also check your radiator and all hoses.

It might be oily because it might have gotten on some oil part of your car before dropping to the ground or possibly you have both and oil and coolant leak.

 

The ethylene glycol in antifreeze can sorta feel oily-ish.

It's radiator fluid. Start the car and look for leaks. Check your coolant level in the radiator when cold and top everything off for good measure.
