High silicate antifreeze will turn to a green gel with age. I have seen it around cylinders to where it looks like green Jell-O. Older formulas recommended the anti freeze be changed every 3-4 years.
The silicates are there to help different metals from corroding. I was taught it was mainly better for engines with aluminum parts. I had been told that you do NOT want to use it in diesel engines. JD actually told us it could void the engine warranty.
I have had fairly good luck with using Gunk antifreeze flush to dissolve the gel out of a motor. Remember to really flush the Gunk product out of the motor well when your done.
When refilling use distilled water not common tap water. Hard water is not good for a engine's cooling system.
