Smaller molecules, different surface tension, whatever it is a change to
orange antifreeze will often cause a leak to appear.  On the web page describing
their product, one manufacturer mentions that the orange antifreeze is less
erosive to seals and such because the particulate sizes of some constituents are
smaller.

As far as getting German parts; buy locally and tell your parts guy that is
what you want.
