I am going to be leaving my desktop unused and unattended for several months, what should I do with the coolant in my loops? I was thinking of draining it and washing the system with distilled and letting it dry?

Unfortunately it's not H2O, its Feser 1

Drain and rinse with distilled twice or leave the Feser 1 in it. Feser one will probably evaporate if you drained the loop and leave ugly bits, distilled water wouldn't.
