That colour of green looks like the UV dye added to check for AC leaks, but I'd highly doubt it would make it all the way to the rear diff

Hi I checked the coolant first its pink so I don't think it is that. Yes I recently noticed dynamic response was low and topped it up I plugged in my delphi scanner and no fault codes were found for the dynamic response either at the time it was low or the time I topped up. |

Sway bar actuator is leaking. It's an expensive fix so for starters you can try some power steering fluid stop leak. It will buy you a little time and since you will need to get the entire thing replaced what have you got to loose by putting snake oil in your system. I did the exact same thing and it worked and it probably would have held up longer but I got the sway bar replaced anyway. It looks like the exact same leak I had so put that stop leak stuff in there and see what happens. |

well you have a front one and a rear one and a filter, so the snake oil could do damage to 2 of the 3 remaining components
