If you run short distanges the low temp motor leaves some white stuff always. If you run longer trip, the white stuff disappears.
Just check the cooland level and keep on eye on it. If you loose lot of it, then it's time to do something about head gasket..

Remember to always start with the simple things first when troubleshooting.
