That rules out oil/lubricant then

Brake fluid isn't that colour and feels sort of soapy

 

Does your car have a sunroof?

 

I have noticed it on mine too but i know what it is... Its condensation thats formed inside exhaust pipes and if u have reversed it may have dripped out of exhaust and by time u reversed a bit more its near your rear wheels.  Sooty black water.

But bright green?

 

I ask about a sunroof as if fitted the drain pipes terminate if the front/rear wheel arches

I was thinking dog a likely culprit but without the OZZY OSBORNE impersonation (you have to have seen the Motley Crue film DIRT to understand the joke).:tongueout:

Has the issue now stopped ?

Is the car a 4x4?

 

Could it be Haldex / rear diff fluid?

Come on this must be a Troll it supposed some days ago the car had been booked for a check at a local dealer. What was the result from the check?

Last time it rained I didn’t see any of the green liquid. 

 

It only happens when the car wet (rain or car wash) 

 

very odd!

Nope just FWD 220tsi. 

 

According to the Skoda mechanic none of the liquids they use are green coloured.

Maybe you should read the complete post before you accuse me of being a troll. I have replied with the outcome of the checkup last week.

And what is finally? An official Skoda Mechanic should know exactly what happens with the car.

 

As far for Trolling don't take me wrong my friend as i was from the first users that suggested you to go to a Skoda mechanic as your safety is first of all.

All good, he’s baffled by it. Told me to Monitor it and see if I can locate the source within the wheel arch.

Today i also faced a deadly smell from my father's car an old avensis 1997. I finally traced it from the language space under the extra wheel. It was rotten water smelling awufully. I couldn't find how got in there but we will test it by spilling water with a hose....

Anyway good luck my friend an hope to solve the problem quickly. I also suggest you to have your mechanic replicating the conditions under you noticed the problem it will help finding the reason faster.....
