Yes freshwater cooled 454. My Coolant is green. Is it possible that power steering fluid is leaking into bellows from one of the oil coolers ?Sounds like anti-freeze. Is your motor fresh water cooled (closed cooling system)? Or it could be power steering fluid, if so equipped. Outdrive oil is black.
