Default Help: I have a whitish residue?

Looking into the exhaust tips: This residue is on top of the black carbon on the exhaust tips, what's the matter?

Maybe a head gasket, I'd hate to say it, but that will give some funky residues out the tailpipes

Yes, I do.
Yeah, I guess it could be from the light rain this morning, it was windy too, left watermarks on paint so maybe.

lol i think you're overracting. wash the tips with some orange clean to get all the grease and soot off, then see if the residue comes back in a day or two (and make sure it doesn't rain over those days). if no residue comes back, you're in the clear. if it does, resurrect the thread.
