Hmm can you not do this quest if you did the old version? I went to the cauldron, but there wasn't a quest.
You probably had a reputation gaining buff.

Description
The greenish substance inside the cauldron is putrid and viscous. No matter what it is, it doesn't seem to be good. It would be best to report back to Donova with your findings, along with a sample of the liquid in the cauldron.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Falling to Corruption
The aggression of the Winterfall furbolg has to have its source somewhere. I'd like to get to the bottom of it if I can! I've seen the furbolg in the camps to the north brewing something in a cauldron. They seemed very protective of it...
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Scalding Signs
The cauldron looked like it contained concentrated material. If the Winterfall are diluting this stuff directly in the springs, contamination could build up over time... and then the dilution would be less and less effective. The spring to the northeast has boiled over with elementals.

Winterspring has 54 steps, from Threat of the Winterfall to Umbranse's Deliverance.
