Sounds like coolent is leaking out of a cracked hose or split hose. Dunno why it's white tho. Replace the hose
Do you really think a white substance could cause such a thing?
My guess it's calcium from the water.
If your radiator runs hot it's because you don't have the correct water to antifreeze ratio (50/50) or enough fluid in there.
You can test your ratio with an antifreeze tester. It will tell you what temperature the coolant will cool down to.
You also need to buy some coolant and mix it 50/50 with water and top it off (fill it up). Don't forget to put "some" in your overflow tank/reservoir.
Is this like mayonnaise?
If so you have oil in the water and a blown head gasket.
- White smoke coming from exhaust, Ford Zetec 1999 petrol? I have no other problems with the car, it has 1/2 tank petrol, and oil. At first I thought it may be the cold but, it happens too often for that.
- My upper radiator hose is hot and the bottom one is cold, is this a problem? I recently replaced the thermostat and new antifreeze. The top side of the radiator (upper hose area) is very hot, the opposite side (lower hose) is cold. Truck is not overheating, it has great heat, I would sweat to death if I left it on too long. 2003 Ford Ranger 4 Cyl 2.3
- I have a 1999 ford ranger, the battery is drained every morning. I traced the drain coming from my left head lamp,? Although the lamp still works but why does it still drain the battery… What do I do? it is the left head lamp that is draining my battery! But why, it still works… Maybe moisture in it?
- Red oil substance leaking from Ford Ka? I have a manual 2001 ford Ka petrol, only today i noticed that when stopping/ pulling away the car started to judder and seem as if it was going to stall. I also noticed that it was very difficult to put into gear. When i parked it at home i noticed that there was a sizable puddle of reddish oil like liquid on the floor. Any idea where its coming from? And how to fix it?
