leaking antifreeze on winterized engine?

First post - BIG thanks to Bill and the whole knowledge base here as I get to know my A4.

The boatyard winterized the engine a few months ago, and when I stopped by the boat last week I noticed that there was a greenish color in the bilge water. I pulled off the engine cover sure enough there was antifreeze at the spark plugs and puddled under the engine. No evidence that the tube from the overflow resevoir had come loose/leaked etc.

The boat engine does have an MMI-installed freshwater cooling system.

Any thoughts? I'm guessing that the yard didn't bypass the thermostat, but not sure if I have a big problem or a little problem on my hands.
