So I was changing the oil and fead belt/idler pulley today and all went well. I did see some seapage of green liquid. Has anyone seen this? Is this radiator fluid?

Isn't that the AC compressor? Could be a leak detector agent. The coolant in these cars is not meant to be green if I recall correctly, more orange like.

yes you’re correct, that is the AC compressor. I ran the AC today and it worked so hopefully it was just a leak agent and got fixed

Refrigerant tracer dye. Your most likely to be low on refrigerant and with summer coming I would get it checked out.
As V12stealth said A/C compressor and the factory coolant is pinkish in color.

I turned on my AC for the first time since last season and it blew warm air for a few minutes and then finally turned cool. I am supposing this isn't that unusual after not being used for such a long time.

It looks like compressor oil leak. R134 is clear.
