i had a heater hose the leaked and filled #4 plug area with coolant. the coolant solidified. now there is this gummy mixture of dirt and coolant. is the a way i can turn it back to liquid to blow it out?

Spit on it.

No, seriously, get some solvent and carefully clean the area by hand.

Or try pouring HOT water on it to loosen it up.

Just hit it with brake clean and shove a rag in there. (make sure the plug is still in.)
