Well latly when I start my car up its a bit smokey (white) and water is coming out the exhaust...
It also smells like its overfueling quite bad sometimes?
As soon as I saw water I though HG!  but it only happens on start up? after a drive if I park up and let it idle no water comes out.
Nothing ever goes right does it, you get the outside looking nice and then the engine decides to die.

Yeh but the jack pushed it down slightly so some tigerseal is showing which I hope I can remove.
Im more concerned about the engine though.
Smoke isnt so bad as its not on every start up only noticed it this morning which is the reason for this thread.
Its the water im scared about.
No mayo on cap though an temps are fine. Although there was a tiny bit of mayo at the bottom of dip stick before...
