Leaking

Leaking
Something is leaking from my car..if your driving it, it would be near the front on the right. pretty much right around the headlight. It kinda is a brownish greenish and really watery. My brakes have been squealing lately..im thinking could it be break fluid?
And then i got home and checked the radiator coolant, i don't see any in it. But my car isn't even running hot for some odd reason.

RE: Leaking
Hmmm not good..when i was going to check the radiator coolant thing..i saw that the cap was pretty much off, could that cause it to leak..even if i didnt see a drop in it?
We put stop leak in it a loooong time ago and then after that it went into the shop and came out and it never over heated again, i guess the stop leak is running out..but it was just a tiny leak..i guess its time i get a new radiator.

RE: Leaking
right around the headlight? sounds like blinker fluid.
seriously though, brownish green and you put stop leak in a while ago? Sounds like your rad is about to blow its cookies. DONT use stop leak, unless its an emergency. If I were you, after I put the new radiator and thermostat in (stop leak loves to f*** youre tstat up too), I would get a complete coolant system flush to get that crap out of there. Just my .02, but you might have some recurring problems if you leave that gunk in there.

p.s.- youre radiator coolant thing doesnt have a drip in it? if youre talking about the bottle on the drivers side behind the radiator, it is prob pretty brown from your stop leak, and if it doesnt have a drop in it, youre supposed to have a "LOW COOLANT" light thats supposed to come on. If youre not running hot now, I would suspect you might start to pretty soon.
