This sounds suspiciously like your system has incompatible coolants that may
have mixed, maybe only a small amount. But something is funky for sure.

Regardless of what it is, you need to flush the system immediately because
if your coolant does gel, then it is VERY VERY BAD.

At least I'd flush the system immediately. There's plenty of reasons to do
this given the symptoms you've described and the only reason not to at this
point is laziness (which is an attribute that I'm proud to have in copious
amounts). But seriously, don't be lazy on this score.
