Fluid In Throttle Body

Fluid In Throttle Body
I was taking my throttle body off today to clean it, and I took out the four bolts and unplugged the harness. Finally, I went to remove the clamp and hose that runs to the side of the throttle body and a green fluid came out. It almost looks like its antifreeze but does that make sense?
What kind of fluid would be running to the throttle body?
Thanks for any info.

It's coolant. It keeps the throttle body from freezing during the winter. Some people bypass it in regions that don't have harsh winters but it is debatable whether it even makes a very small difference power-wise.

Not even that new anymore , most of them have around 30k on them . Also if he needs to pull the throttle body off to clean , seafoam would have been a better way to clean it . Also depending on the oil that is used even a car with 10k miles could have sludge in it .
