How would the coolant darkening relate to a blocked PCV valve?

I had a small block Chevy metal PCV valve clicking so loudly that I adjusted the valves on that side before discovering what it was. It wasn't dirty, and the same looking (and same acting, in hand) replacement PCV valve was quiet.

Excess crankcase pressure can do strange things.

It may not necessarily be causing the coolant issue but it is the simplest thing to check and rule out so it should be done first

Over pressure damage to head/other gaskets allowing oil and or combustion gasses to mingle with coolant.
