It was definitely gear oil that spilled out in January. Just can't imagine what gear oil is doing in a pair of lines that run along the length of the car on the passenger side and why I haven't seen a drop since. I'll post a pic of the smash job I did tomorrow.

Could it have simply been something already on the trailer? The only “gear oil” in the back of the car is the trans, and it’s not green and captive in the transaxle. Has to be gelled Freon or something. Weird for sure.

My guess would be that it was there before you backed up and bottomed out.

After 30 minutes I think I was able to attach a pic.

I originally posted this because I thought it would be fun to hypothesize on what it could be before I looked.
After looking, I still have no idea.
The arrows point to where these lines should be connected. They are a pair black metal lines that run along the length of the passenger side. The pic is me under the side looking towards the rear of the vehicle.

The fluid was a real green, almost neon, color and it did smell like gear oil.

Picture is worth hours of speculation. Looks like TRK nailed it. Those are the AC lines and YOU were right on the gear oil, supercooled AC compressor gear oil.
