I was just looking a my sled in the barn and noticed some antifreeze in the pan. I took of the roust plate and there is coolant all over I and the front of the motor. Only the front bottom half. Maybe oil too but I think it is mostly if not all coolant. There is no sign of coolant in the oil and the sled runs perfect. Smooth idle great throttle response and no smoke. I did run hot a lot yesterday. What could this be from. Maybe the overflow? I did notice the coolant tank was on low yesterday after the lots came on a bunch.
 
I've seen this a few time on my nytro over the years, it's just from running a bit hot and a little over flow, also it's possible to lose a little if you on your side during the same time. As for the oil could be be a mixture of some spilled oil, or grease that the coolant mixed with on its way down to the skid plate. I notice my apex one time was leaking coolant right on the top of the engine around the tubes that enter the top pan cover, I believe it's two hex screws that keep them tight. Maybe you can give those a look.
