Default Help plz green liquid spilling out of header tank when warm!

just took my car to the car was on way bake i gave it some beans up the road (she loves it lol) then when i got back steam was coming from under the hood after panicking a bit i spotted green liquid coming from what i think is the header tank ! it looks like its leaking out the top (not from cap) the dripping onto hot manifold and steaming i say steaming because its white rather than black! new header tank maybe?
also what is that green liquid?

Thanks in advance

green liquid is your coolant i would expect as it's coming from the header tank

Have a look at the header tank for splits if your car is an early classic the plastic ones do have tendency to split especially if it's the original.
