what was the "white stuff" you mentioned? if it is on the side of a cap, and you can find no other source, that cap has died this last post sounds more like dan's idea is closer, but if that isnt grease from the opt/drive there is no other answer than the cap has popped -- -- NOT sent from an iphone,blackberry,Nokia, or any handheld. -- I'm a PC(x86 AND ppc) AND I RUN LINUX!!! Linux is like ice cream. It comes in many flavors and everyone has their favorite, but we all get the same smile regardless of which we choose to scoop.
