You really should be able to tell the difference between antifreeze and water. Smell and taste
FYI- don't drink it!

If any coolant comes out of the crankcase you may have a leak at the coolant passage between the cases. I would only split the cases after you verify that coolant is not getting into the crankcase via a crack in the cylinder, head, or a leaking head gasket (o-ring).

Another reason I like the Cool-Aide. It's hard to mistake a bright pink liquid for anything other than coolant

Roger that. If there is coolant pooled in the crank case my 1st point of inspection would be the head O-rings.. Breaking it down methodically.

I opened the drain when I changed the oil the other day and it?s dry. I think it has to be condensation. If it was head O-rings wouldn?t it start to puke out as soon as it fired? Wouldn?t I also get some out of the exhaust? I started it up today and it wasn?t as bad. It?s also mid 70?s today. Only thing I haven?t done yet is rig up a water bottle to the radiator overflow tube to see if I?m getting anything out of it. Going for a long ride Sunday so I will update. Thanks!

Once the weather warmed up this problem has gone away. My coolant level is not dropping anymore either. False alarm i guess. I never would have thought that much condensation could be produced on start-up. Im not convinced that there still isnt something going on but time will tell. Thanks for all the help.
