the petrol smell may be normal, but that chalky substance may be dried coolant, look around ya hoses, cos one of em may have split

if i was u i would get someone to drive it, cos letting it stand still aint doin it no good, and jus starting it and turning it off without driving aint letting the engine warm up properly
