    Other than making a mess, the leaks you mention are not a concern.

    That milk shake is perfectly normal. It is the oil that you put in the gas. It has gone through the engine and done it’s job. From there, it goes out the exhaust and emulsifies with the cooling water that has also done it’s job. If the conditions are favorable (or unfavorable), it forms that foamy goo. Otherwise, it just goes on out unseen (except for a sheen on the water that also drives some people nuts)
