More Fluids On The Floor Than A P*rn Star - Must Be A LR :)

So a new day and a new leak.... not content to start leaking ( for which its due to go in ) I now have green stuff coming out of the radiator from what looks to be a plug on the bottom right of the big one of the two. Now I thought the AC was the small one at the front low down plus the radiator seems to be redish fluid.

My question is.... how easy is it to get to this problem ( hoping its not a front off job ) and is it possible to fix - ie just tighten up ?

I'm think its is the AC as I have just had it recharged a week or two ago and it was empty.





TIA

PS you can see where its leaking as it looks dark and wet on the photo rather than the grey and dry plastic.

Edit - had my had down the back of the fan and the underneath of it is coated with the green stuff which is really confusing me..... Terran

A reddish fluid seen coming from the radiator of an auto car is usually transmission fluid. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

If you cant tell the difference between red and green you really should not be driving.

Well its defo green...oily ... no definitive smell ....

I wondering if its a pipe that's loose rather than either radiator as I felt it all down the back of the fan bottom rather than the unit its self.... just like its been leaked on and its running down.

Yes, is is definitely the air con fluid.

Double check that your air con fan is cutting in when required - see my recent post under Maintenance & Mods titled Air Con Puzzle. Tattoos - Why would you choose to look like the wall of a public toilet?
