Green oil leak

After sitting for a days at the in laws house I noticed a significant leak. It was dripping from the subframe rail on the side of the car with the accessory drive. It is an oil, very light and thin, and green in color. My first though was power steering as the pressure hoses have always weeped a bit, but that oil is more yellow. Engine oil is brown getting near it next change, and is all there, so that is out. Leak is no where near the transmission and if I recall the Red Line MTL I put in several years ago was red.
So what is this? Lubricant for the AC compressor? It hasn't yet lost it's charge and in a brief test wasn't any noisier than usual but his is my best guess so far. Any ideas?
The car has had a tough few days: A 1300 mile road trip, snow, ice and a -15F night outside, and subsequent cold start. (Started right up).
As we have to make the return 1300 mile trip in a couple of days I like to have a good prognosis.
Many thanks,
Chris
