Green fluid on front jack point...

Well, put on rci front skid and lifted front end to drop oem skids. When I took jack out I noticed this

Any ideas or concerns? Very small amount of liquid

Thanks

 

Do you run green coolant in your truck?

If not I doubt that may actually be a fluid from your truck.

 

Could that be hydraulic fluid from the jack that leaked onto the pad?

 

Blinker fluid!

 

Your AC system working alright? I got a pin-hole in one of the hard lines a few months ago and it was green when it all leaked out.

 

HMM
interesting - i thought maybe refrigerant (because my coolant res is pink liquid)

but i do oil on my girls 2019 CRV as well so maybe it was on her car...
then again it was like 2 months ago i did her car

 

the pad is aftermarket, on top of jack pad...but maybe

 

im going to have to fire the AC up...it worked well last summer, still havent needed it where i live this season
ugh... thanks

 

IIRC That Pag Oil they used to use in the AC Freon was a grey green olive drab color. If that jack point on either vehicle is near the AC condenser or any fittings / connectors like the desiccant dryer, it may be that.

 

Kind of looks like it might be A/C dye, does your A/C work?

 

on way home from work ill test how cold my ac is, good idea. last summer it was cold though
and my truck is really clean and low mileage, 2015 with 90,000, so i hope i dont have to chace an ac
issue. i read it might not be that big of a deal, recharge it every few years type of thing since maybe the leak is very small

 

Did you look under your truck and on the underside of your truck?

 

If it's there in that amount on the jack, it will be detectable under the truck. A good start would be to figure what vehicle it's from, after that figure out what it is. THEN decide what needs to be done. All that's happening now is speculation based on discoloration on a jack pad. Nobody is sure if it even came from the Toyota. You're just spinning your wheels at this point.

 

i did when the skids were off and i remember saying 'damn this thing is fresh, fluid filmed, and no rust after a salty new england winter - shes garaged with 90,000 miles, 5 min commute)

but i didnt know of flui until i dropped the jack down and rolled it out

ill keep an eye on it now tho

 

good point

truth be told that 'quick' rci skid project threw me some curveballs haha
the front brackets for radiator support, 17mm, i didnt spray at first, and even after,
neither impact worked to remove (?) and i bailed with sleeping mom and baby in house
so i undid like 6 of them by hand with 1/2 breaker

another curve was transmission skid, i dont see how its gonna align with rearward crossmemeber as of now, so
i bailed and just have engine tightened up - but i have to loosen it up again and ill inspect for leakage then, tonite or this weekend

 

windshield washer fluid by any chance? looks almost more blue than the AC stuff that I typically see as lighter neon green

 

Could be loctite.

 

If it's dye, there's a good chance it glows under UV light. Shine a black light on that jack stand and under your hood. You might see where it is coming from better.

 

Use a few of your senses....did you feel/smell/taste it?

 

tasted like ecto cooler hi-c
jp, no i didnt
