Re: white sludge in the oil cap

sounds like coolant in your oil. whatever has happened like intake gasket or head gasket, its what is causing you to over heat.

when the car started overheating i seen smoke coming from the intake when the car was off so can it be a intake gasket ?

usually when smoke is coming from the hood...
I think there is a oil leak somewhere. So it is hitting the exhaust and burning off
