I have water that drips from the exhaust even after it is warmed up and it is a stead drip of water should I be worried about this or is nothing?

Most times it's just condensation, happens more often during this time if year since its cooling down. To be safe just check you coolant level, look for oil mix in coolant

It's normal, just condensation. H2O is a by product of the combustion of gasoline, if ya didn't know, now you know..

yup normal.

Octane (Gasoline) = C8H18, Oxygen = O2, Carbon Dioxide = CO2 and water = H2O

At the combustion: 2 moles of gasoline will react with 25 moles of O2 to produce 16 moles of CO2 and 18 moles of water.

2 X C8H18 + 25 X O2 = 16 X CO2 + 18 X H2O

Normal, you will have water condensating inside the exhaust pipes until the entire pipe is hot enough that the water stays as vapor and the condensation dries up.

In cars that are used for short trips the pipes never heat up and never really dry up - these then tend to rust from the inside.

As bad as water in your exhaust sounds, it could be a lot worse.

Top fuel drag cars run on 90% nitromethane which results in exhaust containing nitric acid - highly corrosive and breathing it in can cause a reaction leading to suffacation.

Thank you everyone glad it is normal.

yup totally normal, though it doesnt seem like it. Simply put, for every gallon of gas burned there is a gallon of water.

H2O is a product of complete combustion.
