I hear you on that Sebi. We got hit hard yesterday/today. I spent hours shoveling today along with the entire neighborhood and barely made room to get cars out. There are still huge 15 ft piles of snow in the middle of roads that people have to drive around because the plow trucks haven't come through here yet. Luckily my car has been in the garage . Nice N Dry.

Could it be de-icing fluid or salts on the road that puddled under your car?

What does the tranny fluid on the dipstick look like? The old B&M "Trick Shift" fluid was green in color. Now their stuff is synthetic, and blue.
If someone mixed in some blue fluid with the Dexron, the mixture could turn the fluid in the trans greenish looking.
