turn on the car until you find where the "white residue "is coming from and im sure we can help you with more detail depending where is coming from

when the leak is fresh the liquid is a yellow color

Is it coming from the bleeder valve or the 90* coolant hardline? Either way it is coolant coming out of the T-stat housing. Sweet scents from the engine bay or exhaust are almost always coolant if you want it fixed check the hoses for cracks and if its the housing replace it.
