Sub Zero starter assist. I wouldnt worry too much about it, but if it bothers you that much, the mixture is supposed to be 90%/10% coolant and water.

The pump at the bottom of this reservoir should be disconnected since it could just cause problem. This system is injecting coolant in the combustion chamber while starting when temperature is below zero. If for any reason, the engine takes too long to get running, you would just flood it with coolant, and believe me it's not like fuel at all. :director:

It's real ****! :repuke:

Yes, it's supposed to be a 90/10 antifreeze/water mixture.
