If it is a standard transmission, suspect the clutch master cylinder to be leaking clutch fluid internally. This fluid is usually clear in color. If it is green, suspect coolant leaking, possibly from the heater core inside the car on the passenger side. If the fluid is red and the vehicle is equipped with a speedometer cable,suspect transmission fluid traveling up the cable and dripping.
First things first. Are the car brakes working? Is there a trouble light on in the dash? If the fluid is an oily reddish color it may be brake fluid, in which case the car should not be driven until a repair is done. If the fluid is green or pink in color it may be coolant , in which case have the coolong system checked for leaks.
You'll need to replace the radiator hose if it is indeed where the leak is coming from. If it's neon green in color, that probably is radiator fluid. Have the engine run (from cold) and check the radiator fluid level. if it significantly lowers, then you have indeed a radiator fluid leak.
Bright green fluid is usually coolant. In some cases washer fluid is green too but it sounds like it's likely coolant. Better get that checked out by a professional before it becomes a bigger problem. Good luck!
