Hi John, I think that the green mught be caused from a chemical reaction to the metal in your oiler. My Protek is now kept in a plastic only bottle and cap, that has a long thin needle tube dispenser that fits the bottle. After each use the dispenser is taken off the bottle and the cap put on. The dispenser has a nifty cap to protect the needle tube. Whwn putting the lid back on the plastic bottle I give it a little squeeze so that if it gets hot there is some room for expansion.
