green leaking liquid?

so my dad told me my car was leaking something, so this mourning i go down to check to see what it is, first i checking my oil, wiped off the dip stick with a paper towel, put it back in, then with the same towl i dab it on the cement, and its green, so obvoiusly its not oil, i dont know too much about cars, so i was wondering if someone could tell me what a neonish/light green liquid could be leaking from my car, i plan on taking it to the dealer, but i want to be able to tell them exactly whats wrong with my car before i take it, any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance

a member that lived close to me had the same problem turned out to be the engine seals between the front housing and the ront rotor housing. aka new engine.
