leakage under dual exhaustslilcutegirl 03-20-2005, 11:11 PM I just noticed over the past week that if I drive my 97 grand prix GT just a few blocks and park it for no more than 10min and back up that there are two rather decent sized puddles under my exhaust pipes that continue to drip when I reverse and a large puddle under where the center of the car was parked. I know the puddle from where the center of the car is not the AC because its winter. I thought maybe it was snow or ice melting or something. Im not sure if this is a serious leak or normal and just never noticed it (the drip spots from reversing out of parking spots caught my eye). Has anyone else had something similar and is it a concern? I am not really familiar with the natural habits of cars...any help would be great! Thanks dandigger 03-21-2005, 05:27 PM might it just be condensation? do the puddles have any type of color to them? color would definetly help diagnosis the problem, I think. stlwagon 03-21-2005, 08:54 PM Can you actually see fluid dripping from the exhaust tips? Could still be A/C condensation if you've been running your defrost. jon95se 03-22-2005, 07:26 AM no. if it is coming out of the exhaust. it is the biproduct of ethanol in the gasoline. your catylitic converter may have a drain hole in it to drain it off, as does your mufflers. water is the biproduct of ethanol. and it is completely normal for it to happen on cars. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
