white resin found on the dip stick???

Hi everyone...i recently checked my oil and found that i had white stuff hanging on my dip stick. The oil is about 2 weeks old and i've driven for about 300 miles with this oil. The white resin is half way down the dip stick and the oil looks fine...except for thick build ups(small lil ones). I think i know what caused it, but what i wanna know is how can i fix it. I drive 93 lude VTEC, and itz been having trouble keeping water. I have to add radiator fluid everyother day or else my car starts to really heat up. Theres been a couple of times where i didn't add water and my temp gauge went 2 bars over. My friend told me i had a head gasket leak, but hes not sure either. He thinks that water is getting into the motor, which is causing the white resin. Does n e one here know what is going on??? Another question i have is where is all my water going??? I check the driveway everytime i leave and i never see n e water leaking...so i know the radiators not leaking, so where is it going....grrrr PLZ help........thankz

Go get it replaced... hanging around MK3 Supra owners, you get used to seeing that.

yeah, either your HG is done and coolant is running amok throughout your engine, or someone removed your filler cap and pleasured themself all into your engine. I'm guessing it's the former, but I'd definitely re-examine who you hang out with if you think there's even the slightest chance it was the latter.
