What is your question?
No white in waterpump and timing belt cover. White spots all over engine compartment. Like sprayed from fan. And out of both caps, but I think I spilled.

Hello, there must be coolant leaking somewhere in the engine compartment. With the engine running and under a high idle especially, you should be able to detect the leakage. Use caution as hot coolant under pressure could burn you. However, beyond this, you're speaking of overheating. Does your temperature gauge go way up, and does coolant boil over all over the ground? What are your symptoms? When the coolant actually boils over, it can be a thermostat sticking, it could be a lack of air flow from a failed cooling fan motor, it could be a restriction blocking air through through the radiator... Too many possibilities. Seek local assistance at a local repair facility.
Thank you, I accidentally used the wrong coolant for two or three days. Car no longer overheated but since I used the wrong coolant it’s leaking coolant right above the thermostat, looks like the back of water pump. I think the green coolant caused the waterpump seal to fail a little. It’s a small leak, and the waterpump is less than 6 month old just changed it. I drained and flushed the cooling system and got rid of the green( made for older fords) to blue for Subaru within two or three days of putting wrong coolant. And I have changed waterpump thermostat radiator, and fans, with a fan shroud ( which stoped the overheating. At first it was a bad fan, then 12 instead of 14 inch fans. without the shroud it did not cool the coolant down enough. Has not overheated since I put the fans with fan shroud on. But now it has a small coolant leak. I was thinking of using a good aluminum radiator stop leak, to see if it helps, but a friend of mine said I should not use the stop leak? Any advise
