recently, water has been leaking out of my muffler. it drips at idle and when revving/driving, it starts to run quite a bit. is this something major?

(hot, cold, water vapor, some science blah blah) if its coming out after its SITS, then has trouble starting, or running....then id get a little concerend with head gaskets and other seals. --------------------  Kawi Love |

I think most of it is a byproduct of the cat

It could be that you have coolant leaking in your oil , which means one of your seals cracked or soemthing , check your oil and see if it looks whitish or more like beige |

Water is a product of combustion. When a hydrocarbon burns, the hydrogen reacts with oxygen to form water, and the carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. (there are other minor products too)

the way they blend the gas nowadays creates more water than it used to. Every day now i see trucks with dual exhaust and it looks like they might as well be a garden hose with all the water coming out.
