Green liquid from wiring
Green liquid from wiring
(OP)
On a couple of occasions people have reported a green liquid coming from electrical fittings in houses. It is described as being bright fluorescent green.
Is anyone familiar with this phenomenon, and can you explain what causes it?

I have been assuming that this is copper oxidizing onto some contact grease that the GFI people put on the female contacts. But I really don't know.

If the outlet is wired with NM cable however (no conduit), I agree it is most likely corrosion of some sort.
