Default Light green fluid from right rear hose

Please can anyone help me with what Is going on with my 2014 Dodge Caravan van. I saw green fluid on the ground. Check and saw two hoses around the exhaust close to the wheel well. My mechanic said it was a leaking AC refrigerant. I was wondering why it was green colour. Could refrigerant be green colour? My Ac is cooling and car is not showing sign of overheating. Thanks.

it is green but this leak was at the back not front. The hose involved was close to the rear exhaust underneath the AC Evaporator at the rear right side. I initially thought it was coolant but it is all within this area and nothing in the front underneath the engine

What refrigerant/oil does you system take? (should be a label under the hood with that information.)

Ok, so the green stuff ain't coolant for sure then. At least, not from your van. Is it possible the puddle was left by a vehicle that was parked there before you?

Thanks I figured it out last night. It was coming from below the evaporator hose. I will find an Ac expert to change the hose or zeal.
