Hmmm...thought GM was using that reddish colored Dexcool coolant for the last few years.
Is the quad water or air cooled? I still think it sounds like Dexcool coolant, or one of the other reddish varients out there (Toyota comes to mind). Might not be actually freezing but perhaps amalgamating with snow crystals, much like gold flakes do with a drop of mercury.
