The top cap turning white is a result of water evaporating and leaving behind residue. If you do extended runs on plane you would benefit from adding a drive shower to cool the top. The noise you describe could be either the drive or your gimbal bearing. You can remove the top cap from the upper and inspect the gears for any sign of unusual wear. You can then make sure the o-ring is not damaged in the top cap.
