gunking
Fouling with residue
Gunking is the process of something becoming clogged or coated with gunk—thick, sticky residue that accumulates in machinery, drains, or other places where buildup is unwelcome: The engine's gunking up from all that cheap oil.
The word suggests gradual fouling rather than sudden blockage.
