Default Green fluid when driving in REALLY deep snow

Ok, well since last winter I have noticed that when I back up or park over REALLY deep snow, that covers the bottom of my car and comes up to my door, there is light green fluid spots in the snow. Probably antifreeze. Could the fluid just be getting on the snow when the snow builds up behind my rad and gets on it, then falls off ? or were is it coming from? it was at the back of my car too[&:]a little.

This only happens when the snow is deep. When theres little snow/ no snowand I park there is no green fluid. So I dought it would be a leek,and since its been going on since last year,if it was a leak im sure I wouldout offluid by now.

Thanks

you may very well have a slow leak in one of your coolant lines. I'd keep an eye on the level just to make sure it doesn't start to drop dramatically.

Is there any way to test this?

I could get under my car and check all the lines, but Its so small..like I said only in deep snow.

Now that I think about it, thats probably the only way..

if it's a hairline crack, you might not even see it.
