So i've been driving my car to put miles on it since my rebuild and have noticed that water drips from the muffler. The car does not smoke while driving or any sitting at idle, and there is no fluid does not leak from the exhaust. I was told that it could be coming from the weep hole in the muffler or the muffler just has a leak in it somewhere

when i had my car on a lift doing the coilovers i watched it come from the muffler, i'm hoping there is not anything else wrong with this car now i would be pissed

i haven't noticed any drivability issues and i only throw a code for my o2 sensor which i am going to replace

 

This is normal for all vehicles. High humidity causes water to enter the engine which gets turned into steam that is released into the exhaust and then turns back into water and coats the inside of the exhaust. After it gathers is will collect and eventually drip out. I see this in many cars in front of me all the time and all three of my vehicles as well.

Now if it's a water hose effect then yea you have an issue but drops or even trickles are normal.

 

It's condensation, nothing to worry about. It will be worse when it's cold out and when the motor / exhaust is not warmed up.

There should always be a weep hole at the lowest point of the muffler, otherwise water could sit and rot it out from the inside. This is a real issue with cars that don't get driven long enough to warm up everything and evaporate any collected mosture out of the exhaust system.

 

thats all i keep reading is that its normal
i just never noticed it before, i mean my has sat for 4+ months so maybe its just quirks to running it again

but yeah it doesn't pour out its just dripping and has no smell to it either oh well maybe it will stop soon

 

It means your car is screwed bro!!!! sounds like someone didnt rebuild their motor right. So im gonna need you to take it apart and do it again.

 

there is always one jackass

 

It just wouldnt be a forum without that one jackass making a smart remark.

Im sorry i just found it funny to see someone ask this question when you see cars almost every morning when driving around that do this.

But again i apologize, please carry on with your thread.

 

like i said i never noticed it before and i am being extra observant since i just got the car back only has 500 miles on it so every single thing it does i make note of

but its not a just in the morning thing its like every time i park my car

 

No need to carry on.... we already have great answers and the inevitable loony/funny/ "jack ****" answer so we are all good now

 

This is why mufflers rot from the inside out.

 

lol my car spit up so much black **** when i used to drive it in winter an let it warm up in the garage

 

Mine has been doing this for the last 5 winters. The muffler doesn't even do anything anymore haha

 

Simple jack?

 

Your car just had to pee, that's all
