My Jimmy has been running very hot recently (just below max temperature) have tried a coolant change and oil change but still runs hot and there's now a white substance appeared in the underside of the oil cap and on the dipstick. Any ideas what it is and how to fix it?
Cheers

More than just likely the head gasket! Almost certainly the head gasket.

Oil and Coolant mixing. Agreed with other guys. Shouldn't be much.
