green slime
My brother has noticed that his 79 911 is leaving a green slimey deposit on his garage floor from under the front of the engine, rear of the tranny.
Any educated guesses on what would a green slimey fluid come from? Jim

Can I be the first smart*** to say he has a coolant leak?
The only real fluids in that area are oil and tranny / transaxle fluid.... neither of which should be green.

Well......is he using Brad Penn (engine) oil? It is green after all
 Though there might be a trans fluid of similar colour

trans fluid. the front shift rod seal on my trans is starting to leak, tends to migrate a bit further down the trans towards the rear before it drips down.

I'll bet this is the problem
I agree with Bergo, A Bad Transmission Shift Shaft Seal, available from our host, relatively easy replacement
