Questions:
1) Should I have the entire system flushed because of the mix of fluids?
No, at 60K I believe the shop will drain and refill. That should be good enough.
2) Any watch outs? Can I damage the engine with this situation? Is this normal wear for the thermostat or the water pump? It was thoroughly checked before purchase.
The use of blue coolant (you could search for the posts on the differences) seems to be related to the radiator (plastic, copper, etc). The system holds 2 gallons of mixture. 1 cup shouldn't make much difference.
3) Worst case scenario any cost estimates?
I'd hold off on the thermostat until more is known about the source of the loss. At the 60K, ask for advice and rationale.
4) Should I really think about a warranty?
Peace of mind either way. IIRC post-manufacturer warranties won't help you if the thermostate goes though, as it is considered a replacment part.
