green/yellow stuff.... that's pretty detailed.

Could you be more specific? Was it liquid? Gaseous? Solid? Powdery? Greasy?

Green/yellow is usually coolant... but you shouldn't have coolant by removing tensioner pulleys.

Can you post a pic?

Only if you like cold air to come out of the vents on the dash. Of course you are now responsible for a 25 kilometer increase in the hole in the ozone layer over the south pole and all the emperor penguins will suffer.

Not one bit!

But it will reduce the effectiveness of the windshield defrost system.
