Green oil under car (Pictures)

I've been "surprised" in the morning.... The oily green stuff definitely from A/C.

What it could be? Broken line's gasket, or hose? I guess it is just gasket and I have to replace dryer (just in case). Is it right? It looks like gas with oil blew away.

It's definitly the anti-freeze chemical and it must have leak from the hose. My advice get it check right away before your engine runs over-heated that will bring more trouble.

I found that one A/C hose is broken. Hose, which goes from dryer to expansion valve.
The Green stuff is compressor oil with DYE. DYE was added mre then 2 years ago, when dealer replaced low ressure valve.

I ordered new hose, dryer and new gaskets. Let see what happening.

BTW. The cooling system is fine. My car has genuine, yellow MB antifreeze.

Yeah that's what I figured, because like you said Bansai our antifreeze is yellow not green. When I first saw the pictures of the leak the first thing that came to my mind was melted color green crayons not the antifreeze. Good luck with your fix, I hope it solves the problem.
