I just thought id open up a new thread cause i got a NEW drip now... (done ANOTHER oil change cause the car was running crap) and found this :(
Green drops, could it be brake fluid or would it be coolant? :S

Also uploaded the split cv grease from the other thread, which i will soon upload just for reference for people looking :p

Big question - WHAT IS THE GREEN STUFF. Came from around the opposite side of the tray to the oil sump..

WHY ME?! bloody car :p Going to be booking it in to a shop for a TOP TO BOTTOM checkup ASAP.

Green stuff looks like coolant. Is it thick or watery?

Agreed, looks just like coolant. Any idea where it could be coming from? That pic gives no point of reference... Speaking of which, you should really orient your pics before uploading them - its difficult to work out what you're looking at when you're not sure if the pic is on its side or upside down...

Having seen those photos its pretty obvious it's CV grease - you can see it's been thrown out in a circular pattern as the shaft has rotated.

Josh, that definitely looks like concentrated radiator coolant..

also you better clean off those grease, you don't want them dripping down or splattering into your abs sensor..
