I think the only fluid that has not been mentioned is brake fluid but I think with that much leakage you would notice a soft pedal.

Looks like coolant (the "wrong" type for our cars but you could be running it anyway thanks to the decisions of a previous owner / shop). Is the globe on the passenger side of the engine bay filled with green or pink stuff?

It could have been cv grease. I had a slight tear in my boot and some grease had been splattered on the wheel well covers. I think it mixed with water and turned a light green colour.

I have since taken the axle out, changed the boot and repacked the joint.
