I was fooling with it today and had some kind of AC explosion or something... WHY did they make the friggin' dye look like coolant

Gonna let it rest for a day or so...
Does "fooling with it" mean you started to open up a pressurized system and an "explosion" of flourescent green-oil laden gasses escaped? That'll happen if you don't evacuate the system prior to maintenance...
