.......... and just what I didn't really want to see.....

You know all, in the back of my mind I remember filling the coolant reservoir and maybe I threw away the rest of the water. I also seem to remember thinking to myself that it was a dumb idea to throw it on the garage floor (it's a non-covered, sealed concrete slab base)... so maybe this whole thing has been a red-herring...

In other words, it looks likes water. Tasted like water (and certainly not coolant, or screen wash...), so I think it's the dumb ID-Ten-T here who has a hazy memory...
