Default Green oily liquid

I just noticed there was a drop of green oily liquid in my cement. I attached a picture of the bottom of my car does anyone know what could it be?

Thanks

The Liquid is Antifreeze. Now go look in the front of the motor where the top hose comes in from the radiator and see if it is wet around there.

The plastic thermostat housing is a common failure point on the 4.0. Easy to replace.

I checked the top of the house from the radiator and everything looks dry and normal. I checked all around the radiator and I don't see a leak. It seems that it leaks only after I run it. Could it be liquid from the AC compressor?
