Hello I just bought a 1997 expedition XLT and i noticed there was a milky white substance on a small corner of my oil cap no where else not in or around the oil spout where the cap screw on and so i freakkked out because i have always heard thats a blown head gasket. I wiped it off drove it around the block a few times then checked it and it was back. It does not show anything on the dipstick.. I dont see any white smoke out of exhaust... is this something I should worry about or normal? what causes this and how can i fix?i read somewhere moisture can cause it so maybe i have a small leak? would a sealer fix it?
Also I opened the oil cap and i swear it smells like gasoline! freaking me out. ya it is an old truck but it has a pretty strong smell of gas.. again.. anything i should worry about? what can it be? and how can i attempt to fix? sealer? lol
thank you in advance
