I changed my oil last night. And when I took my Oil cap off I found a white residue that looked like go jo. It also looked like it had antifreezer in it and had a little bit of a smell of gas to it. What gasket or seal could be leaking for this to happen.

That isn't uncommon during this time of year. Make sure the PCV valve is good and not plugged. Also, check the oil. If you have coolant in it and you are always adding coolant, you may have a head gasket problem.

Let me know what you find.
