Water?

[Porteritojr]

Hello, I am having this liquid coming out of my ga (I believe it is water) from the exhaust more from the driver side than the pass. I would like to ask what the heck this means or what are the problems that could be occuring. I doubt that I have a piston ring problem but who knows. Ok then I'm a little dissapointed but oh well. Thanks!

Does the water from the exhaust happen when the car is cold? If so, it may be condensation that forms in the exhaust when the car cools off. As the car gets hot, it burns all the water out...

Yes, as a matter of fact it does happen only when it is cold. Is there a reason for this? Or is it just nothing to worry about?

[Porteritojr]

But if I am wrong and it does happen even after it got its temp, what would this cause it? Just want to know. Thanks!

Warning chemistry lesson:

When a hydrocarbon like gasoline burns with oxygen in the air it is turned into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) the water you see is the result.

If you see a lot of water and/or big clouds of white steam billowing from your tailpipe then you probably have a blown head gasket.

Ah ok, I feel very good now knowing that my car is good. But thanks alot .

i saw this one car with duals that didnt blow all the water out and he mashed it and it spat out a shitload of it passing someone..

looked fackin awesome :) lol

looked like he had a nitro purge out of his tailpipe when it happened (damn that would be such a stupid thing to do.. lol)

Just curious - do you normally do short trips on your car. You need long trips of over a 1/2 hr to dry out the condensation in the exhaust.
Cheers

Drill a small (1/8 inch) hole in the bottom at the end of the muffler.
It lets the water/acid drain and the mufflers last longer.
