Default Strut Leaking green?

Good day all,
I noticed a green liquid, kind of slippery/oily under the passenger front of my vehicle.
I jacked the car up and noticed my strut is leaking terribly. But, I've never had a strut leak so much, it lands on my garage floor.
I also never realized struts have a green oil, thought it was always brown/blackish.

I know for a fact it's not coolant, as my particular Lexus has the infamous pink coolant.

Questions:
Could this be something else and I'm completely off? I'm blind?
What would you suggest as replacement options to retain the AVS features?

To save money, I may just swap out the front two struts first and the rear in the future.

Open to thoughts and suggestions. I love cars, but I'm not a mechanic.
