Matthew took the cap off of the crucial part of a vehicle's engine and as yellow-ish slime was revealed, he yelled: "Oh my gosh."

The mechanic showed another dirty throttle and added: "Look at that!"

He scooped the nasty stuff up with his finger and showed the texture.

"It's like peanut butter," the man said.

"Look how thick it is."

He wasn't happy with what he saw in the engine.

"Aw man, this is going to be a nightmare tearing down."

The video has received nearly 2,000 views.

Someone asked: "What causes that?"

"Head gasket failure the oil mixed with coolant and he ran it in the system for a while and this got trapped in the air intake," the TikTok creator responded.

"Look at all that caramel just need the apples," a TikToker commented jokingly.

Matthew replied: "Haha."
