Default Which wheels? Was it yellow? Or lime green? The steering fluid will whow as lime green...

yellow could be brake fluid, or gear oil depending.. Gear oil is brownish, but it's fairly light brown.

Default some oils will look yellow, esp. on snow.

check differential maybe?

or maybe some animal peed under your car? whatever it is dont eat the yellow snow!
