Unhappy Leaking, is not a good thing

Hello everyone, well, today i left home for a hour and back to find that there is a little puddle of black juice under my car in my garage. I noticed cuz it was never there before and it wasn't dry. It looked black and bit brownish. I can't tell the smell because i could only smell dust and rubbing it on my finger feels like oil. Maybe was my eye problem, but it turned slightly green after i rubbed it between my finger. Im assuming that is some form of oil leak, or it may be coolant, cuz i added green color coolant last time. Hopefully you guys can help me out. Meanwhile, i will try to look through the faq again, been doing it for a while. Thankx.

if it is both at the same time i would be slightly worried... (coolant and oil that is)

otherwise, first step is to the under your car (safely please) and locate where the leak is coming from. report back when you have that info.

Hey man, put a piece of white paper where the leak will be so it doesn't get contaminated by dust. Don't get worried just yet...also, get under it and look for obvious wetness...dry it all off and watch for a leak to appear
