When I pulled the front part of the housing, I found a PILE of white poweder, almost the consistancy of fine kitty litter, just in these three areas. Sorry the pic isn't better, but at least it shows the location. It looks like aluminum oxidation, but I have never seen such a large amount anywhere before. Any ideas as to what it is, and what I need to do to prevent this in the future? (I did think it mught be a coke smuggling attempt, but after snorting some I quickly realized I was wrong.)

You're in Florida. Any pool chemicals in your garage near the car? Chlorine for example, in a bucket with the lid slightly open? Chlorine will turn aluminum into powder, rust steel, is one of the few common chemicals that will corrode marine grade 316 stainless.
