Leading evidence: 'Check gauges' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check gauges' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

I noticed it while I was under my snowmobile replacing the track.

Suggestion
The power steering lines run from the compressor on top of the engine (left side) down the side, under the car, and all the way to the front where the steering rack is.

It's leaking from one of the flanges attached to the hard black metal lines that run underneath the passenger side.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

What's green and oily? The AC compressor oil? I have a significant leak coming from what looks like the underbody AC lines. It's leaking from one of the flanges attached to the hard black metal lines that run underneath the passenger side.
This is right in front of the back passenger wheel. It's dripping from the flange. Don't think those are power steering lines but I could be wrong. Pretty sure there's a green die in the account compressor oul
I noticed it while I was under my snowmobile replacing the track. Lol. I stopped everything on the sled to investigate the winter parked porsche
Sounds like you've found the source, but the CHF11S power steering fluid is another potential fluid with those characteristics. AC compressor oil (PAG?) should be clear (at least it is when I've put it in). The power steering lines run from the compressor on top of the engine (left side) down the side, under the car, and all the way to the front where the steering rack is. Don't discount a fluid coming from the source, running down and along other parts and the drip coming from something unrelated when it actually falls.
Aren't the 2 metal lines running under the right hand side of the car part of the AC system?
yes, I agree it looks very close to the power steering fluid I put in when I rebuilt it.
Some AC oil comes with the dye in it from what I've read.
I'll be going under it in the next few weeks. We got some snow. ..so more concerned about getting the sled running at this point.
It's fairly easy to determine if your AC system is leaking - just connect a
manifold set
to the system and check the gauges.
Note that you can borrow this at no net cost from various autoparts stores: You give them a credit card covering the full price, and then have a decent time (typically 60 or even 90 days) in which to return the item. If it's in decent shape, you get a full refund.
If you need to refill the AC system after fixing a leak, you'll need a vacuum pump - another tool that can be borrowed at no cost.
