Water Dripping From Car Exhaust- A Good Or Bad Sign? by autoselect: 6:36pm On Sep 03, 2012
Is it worrisome when you see water dripping from your car's exhaust pipe?. And, if you are wondering if this condition is normal, you can be assured that it most likely is.
As combustion takes place in your car’s engine, a mixture of water and carbon dioxide is created. You are more likely to notice this condensation when the engine has cooled and exhaust gasses exit the combustion chamber,most likely in the morning. This is when you're more likely to see water dripping from your car's exhaust pipe.
You may notice water in your exhaust when the car's engine first heats up, because in the heating process condensation can also take place inside the exhaust system and end up in your tail pipe. But if water is running from your exhaust after your car has been running for awhile, you can be justifiably concerned.This is bad and there is a problem.
You should take particular notice if you see both smoke and water emitting from your exhaust and smelling like burning oil. This could be a sign of bad rings or a cracked piston in your car or coolant is leaking into your engine. Also, liquid coming from your tailpipe and having a particular sweet smell could be a sign of a more serious engine problem.
