That is ... odd. Pentofrost SF (with the STJLR certification thingy) data sheet says it's pink / clear. https://crpautomotive.com/wp-content...tofrost-SF.pdf and this is the photo of my coolant overflow tank... its orange, yeah? P300 and P400 use same coolant AFAIK.



For anyone interested, this photo is where I first saw the leak (and there's more leak out of camera frame). Apparently it's the large hose assembly with the braided covering that is leaking (if I understood the muffled voice of the tech correctly in the video they sent). And apparently whatever parts are 5-8 d*mn weeks out.

LR dealers here are abysmal.

I bet you $1 land leaping.com will have what you need. Should be a simple repair

horrendous service is the norm here it seems.

Ha - I know. I'm waiting on LR Lynnwood to tell me the actual part numbers so I can look at them on Land Leaping and see if they will buy them from there. It's all warranty so I don't care how much it costs them... but I'd also bet $5 that LR Lynnwood will say "no we only go through our own distributors" despite Land Leaping only selling genuine JLR parts. *sigh*
