Do you have a silver kill coil or some kind of biocide agent in the loop? I could be some kinda of bio growth.

Is it decent quality tubing? If it's cheap tubing not a surprise at all if it's starting to yellow.

If it's a bio growth in your system, yes, you will need to replace the tubing and make sure to thoroughly kill off anything inside the rads, res, and pump. When you redo the loop, make sure to add a biocide agent or kill coil.
