Default Green fluid leak - DS

There's a little bit of green fluid on my garage floor. Driver's side. I would say the patch is approx in line with the rear edge of the front tire. See attached pic. You can see the dark patch where the front DS tire sits when parked. If it's AC dye, that's a looong way to travel. I have been using the AC a bit in the past month. It's def not coolant or PS fluid. I can't see fluid traces from the top of the engine. About the only thing I can think of in that area w/o getting it up on a lift is the windshield washer reservoir, but I've only put water in it. (Actually I can't remember the last time I used the windshield washer)

Edit: it does appear to be the windshield washer reservoir leaking. There's a dribble near the back - where the washer pump is located. It looks a little more blue in color, which night just be down to dirt and the dark frame color.. When I look into the reservoir, there's def green stains. New parts ordered. Job for next weekend.


taken from the drivers side where the front wheel would be. The green dribbles are approx at the edge of the rail near the washer fluid reservoir.
