If it was a brownish green color, I would say that is the antifreeze and rust solution from the radiator. Could be a bad hose, or leaking radiator core. Check the coolant level with the engine cold and off, and never open the cap when the car is warmed up or overheated. Put your fingers into the puddle and see how thick it is. Does the leaking fluid feel oily or more like water ?? I really suspect you need to get the car to the radiator shop to get a new core for the radiator. You will need new hoses...upper and lower, and a new thermostat as well. The parts aren't very expensive, so do all of it at once. Just my .02, Good Luck !! Hopefully, the waterpump isn't worn out.
