H3 A/C leak

I was out shoveling and my wife noticed green fluid underneath the h3. Pretty sure its the a/c dye. Are there any common places our trucks leak at? Once it gets a little warmer and the driveway is dry, I'll take a look underneath. I popped the hood and checked everything up top but couldn't see any leaks

Why are you so sure it's freon????:whaa: Most times I had to inject the dye into the system and use a UV light to see the leak. The radiator bust all the time so if your running standard green coolant that could be your leak. Plus the CV's has greenish grease in them also.

My first thought was the radiator but then I remembered its dex cool so it would be orange if that was leaking. Its doesnt have the consistency of grease but I will double check. Its a neon green color which in my experience is usually the a/c dye. Can't think of anything else that would be that color.

it could very well be A/C dye, when i was having trouble with the A/C on my suburban they put in a green neon die to see if any of the hoses were leaking, and the compressor acutally failed and sprayed the neon green fluid everywhere. as far as trouble some areas in the A/C systems on the hummer i would look against the firewall for the two hoses that run from the A/C into the cab, theres a orifice in there that tends to go bad and it could be leaking from there.
