Default Blue fluid link

Valvoline topped off my pink antifreeze with wrong type. I take to dealer 1 or drains it and replaces the plastic that holds it all. I then take a long trip and car overheats in bad area. New plastic container warps/melted as did various engine parts . Take to dealer 2 fixes engine , replaces radiator, hoses, antifreeze container. I figure dealer one messed up and didn't let all the air out. I drive the car back home and i notice the antifreeze level is dropping and now I'm getting a blue fluid leak. The antifreeze though is EOM pink, not blue. Dealer 2 said they let all the air out and tested everything. Why would antifreeze keep dropping? I was fist told it may settle lower but the tank level keeps dropping after I refilled it. Why would my leak be blue? Do you think I have an unrelated windshield wiper leak? 2 issues? I've now put ore money into this thing than the book value of car. Dealer 1 doesn't appear to want to take any responsibility . I'm now near dealer 2 and worry car isn't safe enough to drive back to dealer 1 area. Was going to take th car back to dealer 2 tomorrow. Any thoughts would be appreciated.cprior to this I've never had any major issues with this 98 A4 and it has low
Mileage on it. Thanks
