What is this?

Noticed this the other day when putting my front shocks on.



Green sludge just about center of the photo.

It doesn’t feel freshly wet, so my plan is to clean it up and keep an eye. Coolant in the truck is orange, just seems odd and I’m not yet familiar with this truck to come up with an idea.

Looks like freon dye leak to me. Is your A/C / defrosters working okay?

Excellent question. Have not needed the AC so I am unsure.

I’ll see if I can pull up an AC diagram to see where all the bits and bobs run.
