I first noticed white exhaust two weeks after I had all my seals replaced on my oil pan water pump and head gaskets. At that point I checked my oil cap and noticed a white film on my cap. I know I have coolant in my oil. Could it be the seals or is it a head gasket?

Most likely it is the head gasket which is common. Here is a guide to help you understand the problem better.

If you are going to do the job yourself here is some diagrams that will help you get the job done.

Please let us know what happens and upload pictures or videos of the problem.
