If it was freon trust me you would know, odds are it's antifreeze unless you just use the garden hose... In that case I don't know... Might wana call ghost busters

Only one way to see what color yer coolent really is....pop the rad cap an suck a bit out. Dexcool is orange, the only red I know of is the brand new organic, I doubt it's that...

Sounds like antifreeze boss. Freon would definitely make a mess and you would know about it before you saw it.

I would say antifreeze also, but it COULD still be oil from the AC compressor. If someone has tried to leak test the AC system before, it could very well have a green-ish dye in it which, if leaked out, could be what you are seeing.

Not very likely, but still possible.
