Washed my truck today and found this:

OK gents, a few things.

First of all, I found this at the car wash. I noticed after i washed the truck. I used pre soak and then spot free rinse. Could the green the the pre soak?

My coolant is 100% red and very full.

The car wash is 10km away from me, and I washed it a few hours ago and currently all the fluid in the picture is frozen.

I just turned the truck on and idled for a few mins and I can't find any active leaks.

That fluid was definitely neon green. The ac has not been on in months.

 

It's hard to tell from the pics, but that looks very thick for antifreeze, looks more a grease to me also. I thought freon was a gas.

 

could be that funky foamy stuff the auto carwashes spray on. frozen.

 

when i crashed my truck 2 years ago, i busted the AC condenser and ONLY the AC condenser, and after the initial POOF of freon gas, the rest dripped down my skid plate, down my control arms, as neon green liquid, exactly like OPs.

 

Fuck i'm such a newb for not touching it and smelling it. SO dumb

 

After your last post, I'm calling presoak that's frozen for sure.

 

If it's frozen, it's neither coolant nor grease

 

I vote this or it is just frozen car wash soap. Hopefully the soap.

 

The fluid is definitely frozen.

I just want to thank everyone for their input and everyone who posted is getting rep

 

The green I see in this picture is pretty neon/flourescent. The green in the above pictures looks alot darker, like CV boot grease.

​

Now I'm not saying you're wrong, because it's hard to diagnose anything from a couch. I'm just saying this is what I see.
​

Thanks, glad to help.

 

they add lubricants to the freon for the compressor. thats whats green... the additive to the freon.

 

well do u used the tires cleaing from the carwash .. here at my local carwash the tires cleaning its green

 

Just presoak and spot free rinse.

The presoak comes out like a light mist and white bubbles....

I think i'm just panicking for no reason and it is the presoak.

Any other fluids in the truck shouldn't freeze right?

 

It's a good possibility that it's nothing. But from my experience as a technician, CV boot grease can harden over time when exposed to the elements. So, you're saying it's frozen solid? Like ice? It doesn't wipe off?

 

You are correct. If you had frozen fluids in your truck it would go kaboom

 

im sayin its the pre soak shit . its on both sides and on the plate above the bumps

 

I'm going to take a stab at it and say it is CV grease with water frozen over it.

 

You guys and gals are the best...I LOVE TACOMA WORLD

 

not likely since grease is water repelant. besides aint it colder than a witches tit in an iron bra up there in canada
