White is water. You may have a bad head gasket or cracked water jacket. Does
the temp gauge rise and fall periodically?

I wouldn't waste money on any of the additives. They don't work. My advice:
1. Keep good oil in it (check it every time you drive it until it's
rebuilt).
2. Don't push the engine so hard. Take the roads that don't require you to
run it so hard. I know that may be hard in LA.
Hope this helps.
