Bad Throttle Body??

Bad Throttle Body??
My throttle has been sticking a little lately. So I took off my intercooler and tried to install a spring that would snap the throttle plates closed when i let off the gas. I removed the hose at the top of the throttle body and some gunk filled coolant literally oozed out of the hose. I looked through the nipple that the hose was on and the coolant was thick with all this brown residue.
My car has been overheating a lot lately and my guess is that it's partly because of the poor circulation through the throttle body. Should it just be replaced or should it be taken out, cleaned, and readjusted?

All of the coolant hoses in this circuit should be checked and cleaned out too. Follow the path from the engine to the TB, through the BAC valve and back to the water pump.
