05 SSR, leaking a florescent green oil from somewhere up near the A/C condenser (yes, I'm positive it's oil). Sound like A/C lube but with leak detector dye in it or is the A/C lube in these green? Seems to be a fair amount, which has me wondering. I haven't looked too hard yet to figure out where it's coming from, just discovered it this weekend.

Sure sounds like coolant to me.

This a Leak detector Dye if you put a Black Light on it , it will glow

That's kinda what I figured, interesting thing is I've never had it worked on, and bought it new. Dealer had it for a year before we bought it, guess they must have had an a/c issue. Looks like I've got another one!

Seems to me I saw a sticker under my hood discussing the refrigerant. It stated that there was dye in it. Sounds like compressor oil...but check it with a blacklight fto be sure of the source.

It definitly sounds like the dye they put in the ac system.If you are not the original owner the last owner might had a ac leak and probaby added the dye because they could not find the leak with a leak detector
I figured someone would suggest coolant, that's what popped into my head at first too, but I'm still running Dexcool, definitely not green.
Wasn't there a recall on Dexcool. I think there was. It ate up Head Gaskets if I remember correctly. Check with your Dealer on this. I know this stuff will eat up Water Pumps as well. I may be mistaking it for another GM Product. But DEXCOOL seems to ring that ole warning bell.
Dexcool is hard on gaskets and waterpumps. Wigrider a G.M. tec. switched his out for that reason. I too have gone with a antifreeze and a water wetter.
