Hi not sure it it has a drain pipe,if not insert a small piece of tubing(about metre long) in reservoir suck on the end and when water comes through take it out of your mouth and hopefully gravity will do the rest,when empty refill with red/pink antifreeze.

Shouldn't be a problem

Pink/red is normally long life (5 years) the blue stuff is 2 years, red/pink mix is OK red/pink/blue isn't.
