Two types of stop leak...

There are two basic types of stop leak, one intended for radiators and the other intended for head gaskets. The products intended for head gasket repair DO NOT MIX with coolant and will produce results like this. If you or a PO used Bar's Leak head gasket repair, or Nano, or Copper Block, or similar, this could be the result.
Bar's Leak has a good customer service department; you might call them and ask. If this product was used without draining the coolant, you may have congealed lumps like this in all the passages where coolant remained. Eventually this may cause overheating. I'd call them first, even if you didn't run the Bar's Leak yourself. I don't see what else would cause this kind of congealing. Coolant should stay liquid, especially when it's as new as that coolant looks.
