The "green crap" / "green oil" would be your new freon dripping out of the system. I imagine the system is totally dry now.

It sounds like your compressor sneezed.

Your compressor has a pressure relief valve in the back. If the pressure got too high, it could have vented out the back. When a pressure relief valve blows, it spews refrigerant and oil like snot from a sneeze.

The greenish (snot) color is probably UV dye. Put a blacklight on it and see if it glows.

That's the only explanation I can thing of for a blowout leak, leaving spatter marks, and not completely discharging the system.
