I don't recall seeing any "white goo". I do, however, recall the previous owner telling me he had hit a deer some period of time ago. Because of that, the driver's side headlamp is loose, and the driver's side front wheel is angled in at the top causing the tread to wear significantly on the inner side of the tire. I've also noticed the hood ornament is missing... for all these reasons, I can't help but to believe that this deer was the main cause for everything that's happening now (the leaking, the smoke, etc..). Other causes being the fact that the car is 16 years old.....
