Oil leak on driveway
2003 S600
if its not one thing......
Anyway, got the transmission oils done a week or two ago, new filter, gasket etc, just because I didn't know what it was last or ever done.
anyway I drive the car on the weekends mainly so she sits parked M-Fri, small amount of green oil on the drive now, grrr.
Is that gear oil green?
I hope it's not the ABC fluid.
Thanks lads.

Yes. Pentosin for ABC/Steering is green.
Check both reservoirs for ABC and Steering make sure not low. Have it fix asap.
Ref this procedure in case you get ABC msg:

Be happy as you caught it earlier and it can be fixed cheaper.
It could be more trouble and expesive if the leak is ignored.
