Got a 2002 ford escort, today engine started idlling rough. Check oil and its got milky white stuff in it...(the famous coffee sorta look with lots of creamer) Not to mention its losing alot of water somewhere. Looked under car and notice a large leak of water coming from where the exhaust ties into the catalytic converter (they positioned the converter right near the engine area...dont know why) My first guess is that somehow water is being leaked out of the exhaust.But someone mentioned to me that it might be the head gasket just above it leaking down onto the exhaust..(since i cant see the area above it from either the ground or looking up top from the hood) Would this be about right assumption?
