Default throttle body

this morning i removed my mass air flow sensor and I could see that the inside of my throttle body was dirty
i could scrap gunk out of it
so i tryed taking it off and i unplugged some stuff
and then i took bolts out of the closest seam to the front of the throttle body
and i had one bolt off and the other one was almost off
and fluid start spilling out at the bottom of the seam
and so i thought it might be gas and i didnt want to hurt anything so i tightend the bolts back on
did i mess anything up?
it didnt smell like gas
it smelled like nothing
and if this was the wrong way
how do i get the throttle body off to clean it?

most likely that was coolant, no you didnt hurt anything.get a carb cleaner and spray it at he blades, and just get a towel to wipe it off, you dont need to take it off unless its really bad, and normally the blades is what catches the dirt and gunk
