please allow me to delete/edit the first post, the link was improperly inserted. thanks

I have a mysterious leak near the tail pipe. The first picture shows the yellow/green colour of the fluid.
the second picture highlights the location where this fluid is dripping from, but not necessaly where the leak is taking place.
what could this leak possibly be? something serious or urgent?
thanks

Fluids that may be green in your car:
Coolant
Windshield... which it's probably not.

If it's yellow it might be water + rust.
But I believe it is this https://www.google.ca/search?q=coolant+exhaust&oq=coolant+exhaust&aqs=chrome..69i57.4606j0j3&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8

I'd go with coolant. Was it serviced recently or did you add coolant to your car recently?

[Mr Wilson]

Did you rust proof your car?

The area you've highlighted, there's really nothing there fluid wise from the car itself.

im saying its from the environment. check your coolant and oil to see if theres anything abnormal about any of them.

I had it serviced about 2 or 3 weeks ago. since then, I have put about 2k kilometers on it, and there was alot of salt on the roads. my car was covered in it. I meant to go to the carwash, but it is too cold!
I also just had a drive clean exhaust test two weeks ago, which passed.
is the service requirement urgent for leaky coolant?

engine temperatures have been normal.

Really doubt it's coolant. If you are certain it's coming from the rear, the only fluids at the rear of the car would be brake fluid and fuel. None of which are green.

not surprised if all the crap on the road have color to them. road salt, butt load of washer fluid, grass/mud, plants from the storm, chemicals from a crash site or a mixture of everything.

not saying it is the coolant or anything from the car. but it doesnt hurt to check under the hood since its easy as balls to check

Lmao at the coolant coming from the exhaust hanger

Coolant does come out of the exhaust some times... It's just not a good sign when it does.
