The milky residue could just be from condensation. Clean it up and see how it goes from there. If you are not loosing coolant, it will not be a problem.

The shifter housing has a hole with a pin on the side that keeps the shifter from spinning. Sometimes these push out and the the shifter spins. Get the shifter lined up the right way and then use a small punch to put the pin back into the slot milled in the shifter ball. Dandy Dave!
