I just noticed a red liquid (anti freeze?) slowly dripping from the front of the genset. What is confusing is the fact that the coolant for the diesel genset motor is green!!?? This red fluid is coming from behind, what looks to me like, a heat exchanger. So my question is what is this stuff???? Where is it coming from???

If your genny is front mounted, the liquid may be engine coolant from the heater core/pipes/hoses for the dashboard heat. Take a small sample on paper and compare it to a sample from the engine cooling system.
