2022 sportsman 570 leaking fluid
I just purchased a 2022 sportsman with 12.1 miles on it. All visual inspections looked fine at the sellers I trailered it home about 75 miles, tied down, no movement. I unloaded it into my garage in the dark. Went out to show to my dad, started it, moved it forward and reverse just to sho him the operations and shut it down. Hopped off and noticed a pretty good amount of red fluid under the unit. I will clean up to investigate the true location of the leak but I’m curious to know if there are any know issues I should be looking for? This is very disappointing as the unit is like brand new, 12 miles, c’mon. Any help would be appreciated. I’ll update when I know more. Thanks, Ryan

could be RED if its been replaced.Coolant's Yellow
It could have hit a tree, smashed the radaitor in and then repaired ATV with new parts and RED coolant. It's a used ATV and having only 12 miles on it and for sale, we don't know the complete story why.
Here you go. Take your pick. Red is pretty standard in the automotive and over the road truck coolant systems. Actually it's really just a die so that you go back to the OEM brand. It is an OAT coolant.I've seen blue (Peak), green (Prestone) and yellow coolant never red. What coolant is red?
Where's Latebird?
red antifreeze 50/50 - Google Search
Something I could see myself doing, but I wasn't there!!Or someone is messing with this guy and squirted some food coloring under it
