What does a small leak from the exhaust tip while running mean?
 
I know it's prolly nothing, which I hope it's nothing, but what does it mean when your car is running and a few drops of water or whatever leaks from your exhaust, I see alot of cars like this and especially new ones and my old V6 used to do it too. Is this normal or anything to worry about?

it is most likely just moisture collecting inside the exhaust. Some water is produced in the exhaust gasses, and it wouldnt be unusual for it to condense somewhat in the pipes especially if it is cool out. It will probably drip out black or discolored due to soot and other crap in the pipes and could have a gassey smell just due to the exhaust smell of the stuff dissolved in it. Nothing to worry about.

Yea that's exactly what i figured cause it's still cool out and it doesn't happen during summer, etc. Thanks alot.

mine, with the cam, will spray your legs if you are standing right behind it. looks black, but the exhaust gas isnt dark and I am never low on oil. just looks that way from all the crap in a rich running system lol

lmao, that's funny as hell. I want a cam on mine but that's the last project on my list. My first to do list is a SLP air lid with K&N and a basic tuning :)
