I can't upload pics on my phone. But will when I get back to pc
Not wanting to be an Ogre, but the word Focced comes to mind.
rw says its white in the exhaust, if its dry white it may point to a valve head or seat, it could possibly be an exhaust valve and the weak fuel mixture is being ignited in the exhaust causing the whiteness. Spark plugs electrode go white if the mixture is really weak.
If its wet and scummy it could be head gasket water/oil mix. Oil and water frothing up, although this is usually found in the radiator cap.
What-ever it is riding it seems a bad idea.
Looking forward to seeing rw's pictures.
Good luck rw :thumbup .[size=1em] I hope it is neither of the above and it turns out to be an easy fix [/size]
