In my 2018 i have 113,800 miles went through 1 cam phasers and thermostat replacement before.

This morning i noticed bluish white slime coming out of the summer side excessively never seen this before. I live in AZ and can’t be from value. Should i be worried?

do you smell coolant or oil? Because my bet it it’s just condensation.
Did you idle for a long period of time on the trip before you shut the truck down? This is common.

Never smelled coolant or oil before so i cant answer that question. Drove about 200 miles on Sunday and started her up this morning.

Coolant in exhaust steam smells like maple syrup. It definitely smells like something that’s not from a car.
