The AC plug on an older TV is beginning to leak a green liquid from both
prongs. Does anyone know what this could be? Is there any cause for alarm
that this may be the beginning stage of it shorting?



Liquid of any type === Electricity plugs/outlets ---- yea I'd say cause
for alarm. Remove power source until you figure out what it is. Higher
level shock or fire hazard.

I would thing liquid discovered around any household electricity would
cause alarm even to those with no knowledge of electricity.

Green is usually the color of when copper corrodes. So, if there is a
liquid getting on copper, it must be picking up the corrosion before
showing itself.
