You think you are confused , you need to look at it from my point of view. HAHA Have to read the replies to multiple people in the correct order,...
Getting ready to do a coolant systems flush. Took everything apart, went under to drain the radiator and this is what I saw (attached photo)....
Todays update: Took big red for a nice long drive with lots of stops and starts over a few hours (all within striking distance of home base). The...
Do you think I should put it in maintenance mode and cycle the water/coolant through the systems to see if the goop is throughout the system?
That did not happen. (n) But it will be kept up to date from here on out.
Good call. There has been no pink coolant come into reservoir since i added the water so it is still clear. I only drove it around my neighborhood...

I am still trying to figure out how the oil got in there. haha It is almost 100 today so going to wait for it to cool down a bit.
Water is good. haha. Are the systems (inverter and main) on different loops? The main coolant reservoir was full of the goop so are the tubes...
Safe to assume this goop is all inside my radiator and water pump too? None in the secondary inverter reservoir though (perfectly pink). Removed...
