Catalyst could have collapsed or the baffles .... coolant can be lots of colours but the genuine Vx long life stuff is pinky kind of colour .

given your location i suspect any brand of anti freeze will do, we recommend Vx Red here as its easy to get and well priced on trade

please mate, update your profile to include your engine and model and also model year, it will help us no end to help you.   The cat is located just behind the engine on the exhuste down pipe.
 
If you have a woolie type material hanging out of the back box then your baffles have collapsed and is blocking the box.
