Default Fluid Question. Need Help.

My car is leaking a yellow fluid. I think it might be coming from the driver side close to the front wheel. But I have the belly pan under my car so it might just be from somewhere else. Does anyone have any idea where the fluid might be coming from? I think it might be the transmission so i have no idea. Please Help! -Van

Brake fluid is yellow but you probably would have noticed the pedal sinking if you were leaking brake fluid.

I recently had ayellowish clear liquid leak in that same area that turned out to be power steering fluid. Is it a thickfluid or thin like water?And, I am surprised to hear that your coolant is green! Sounds like you may have glycol-based coolant in there; I think that's a no-no for our cars. Can you pull the belly pan and get a better look? I am a newb, but I am trying to help. PM me if you have questions for me. Good luck.
