If that is indeed the case sounds like he has a blown HG.

where did he notice it at? I have seen some white gooey stuff on the underside of the oil cap and in the filler neck. This is just a little bit of condensation on the oil residue that gets caught up in there. It's normal and npthing to worry about. Now if it was in the stuff that he drained out theen he has an issue.
