I also thought along that line about copper corrosion being green. There is
nothing wrong with the outlet. The green liquid is definitely coming out of
both prongs on the plug only when current is passing through it. Apparently,
the copper wires in the plug are corroding. This is a 24 year old, 10" color
set that has been sitting in a closet for years. Still has a great picture.

Thanks for being the only poster that doesn't think he is a comedian!

@bignews8.bellsouth.net:

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.
