Default oil been leaking, now green?

hey all, my oil has been leaking in the past. So wat. Now, i backed out of the driveway today and there is a green mixture in the mix. I know this is radiator fluid (i think) but it's not on the dipstick (oil). So I don't think i have a blown head gasket. My fluids are adaquate and I topped them off today. Any suggestions on where this leak could be coming from?

PS: new timing belt, balance shaft belt, and water pump installed less than 10k ago along with various seals and gaskets.

Just because both are there does not 100% mean they are mixing within the engine. Most likely you have a small hole in the radiator or in a line and now both are leaking (oil, coolant).

either that or it could be the bearing on your water pump going out. The new pump may have issues, check the weep hole at the back/bottom of the block and see if it's there
