Hey guys. After putting on a few hundred miles last weekend I brought sled into garage to melt out all snow and ice. I found red droplets inside skid and track area. My coolers seemed fine, my antifreeze is green. Could these red droplets be shock oil? I can’t find a leak anywhere.

My grease fittings were done in a red grease. Does it look like grease?

Yes some shock fluids are red. Cannondale could tell you for sure.
