The green is the dye to help see the leak, place I used put a uv dye so they could use black light to see itMetal auto sump & fluid change (3 hrs)

it is certainly very green!
AC stuff is normally yellow. Put some on a white tissue and see what colour is actually is.
As said, see if the coolant is green or orange

Coolant is a bright red/pink/orange colour ha. One thing I did note was this stuff doesn’t smell too much, but the steering fluid smelt dreadful! Ha, wasn’t nice up the nose..

A/c still working?
Easy way to check with engine running and watching out for moving bits and your fingers find and touch the alloy a/c pipework, one pipe should be real cold even after a only minute running.

probably AC then.
Other option is auto gearbox oil.
WIth that amount of fluid, you should be able to see where it is coming from
