Guys that are runnin Redline Water Wetter

I just added this to my cooling system and it really didnt mix with the Coolant...I did a 5050 mix of the coolant then topped it off with the water wetter and now when i checked the fluid level there are all red little dropped in the radiator almost like oil, but its not, its the water wetter...anyone else experiecne this, and Im about to flush it out cause I dont like seeing those dropps...i hopes its not Oil

When i added water wetter the fluid level droped below minimum due to temperature drop, so i added some distilled water. You have nothing to worry about, just make sure your fluid level is between min and max when the engine is cool.

ive never heard of this before. ive added water wetter to each of my coolant flushes in both my max and my old 95 altima. during the summer, i use a 30/70 ratio and winter a 40/60 ratio. (coolant/water) ive never seen spots of the water wetter not mixing, after i put it in, you cant even tell it was added. im not sure what the small temperature drop would have to do with less coolant/water being in the resovoir.
