    The throttle body is designed to have antifreeze run through it. The gunk is more than likely caused by adding green antifreeze to dexcool. if your cooling system hasn't been flushed it may need a flush. Most stay away from dexcool after a flush.

    IF there's antifreeze inside the TB and not in the cooling/heating area of it. Then the gasket is likely going bad.
