Default Name That Fluid

Was out beasting in a corn field with up to a foot of snow. Saw some greenish/yellow clumpy fluid in the snow where she was rubbing. The snow jammed in cross member under tranny/transfer case was stained that color. Couldn't figure out what it is, or where it was coming from. Any ideas? The coolant is a reddish color, along with most other fluids.

Also, the change oil warning popped up and it forgot my satelite presets the next time I started her up. After I got the snow outta the wheels, she drives like normal.

Didn't get any pics in corn field, only this one climbing snow

Yeah I'm at a loss as to what it would be... some commented on the AC and someone else on some bushings... keep an eye on that thread and hopefully someone else will comment on yours too. Keep us posted!

Just crawled under there. Not a hint of any fluid on stearing stabilizer. the crossmember directly under the tranny was the snow that was colored that color pretty good. I thought I broke a coolant line, there was a good amount of it on the ground where I was rubbing. I cant find any trace of it now 2 hours and 15 miles later. Weird.
