way too much fuel might give you that.. otherwise, it may be coolant. what does it smell like? gas? or does it smell sweet?

you should take off your oil cap, and if it looks like a milkshake exploded, then your headgasket is bad.

i'm thinking that it is the head gasket too. when i open my vaule cover it has white thing like milk. At first i thougth that it was the throttle that i put in. it was a str 68mm that was used and didn't came with a gasket. but know it coming out a lot of white smoke. and i found out that when i took off my spark plug it has oil on it also. cuz everything is fine but the white smoke is their.

condensation also can be white at startup. If its milky on the inside, that tells me water is in the system.
