leakage under dual exhausts

[lilcutegirl]

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

might it just be condensation? do the puddles have any type of color to them? color would definetly help diagnosis the problem, I think.

Can you actually see fluid dripping from the exhaust tips? Could still be A/C condensation if you've been running your defrost.

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.
