O.K. my son noticed a leak under my truck so I checked it out and found that when the truck is running its looks to be coming out from behind the harmonic balancer

What could this be??? its not anti freeze green but it feels like it (slimy) and my coolant jug is a lil low.. please help.....

Possibly the weep hole in the water pump

Find for sure where it's coming from. Then go from there.
If it is the water pump, I'd put a new pump on. While doing so, I'd put on a dual alternator upper rad hose, billet thermo housing, flush the system with Cat EC-1 rated ELC, and maybe even a coolant filter.

Wash it really really good and then get in there and look carefully where it starts.
