So I was going though my bolts and tightening all of my exhausts, and everything was all okay. So.....I started up my car, and I was revving to hear and make sure nothing was loose or rattling. So, after I went to look under the car I see water surrounding all the bolts!!! Wtf! Nothing else was wet but the surrounding area where the exhausts connect! Wtf is this?

 

Hm..you could need a new headgasket. Seems if water is exiting out of the exhaust it usually means water going into your head. Sorry to hear this bad news.

 

Some of the things newbies come up with...

Jehuty... It's most likely condensation.

-E

 

?? i would hope that it is condensation. Cause if its not than Jehuty will have more problems in the near future if it doesn't check out.

 

I'm hoping it is, but I had driven the car for a few minutes and it was around noon. Plus the water was dripping, so I am just a little nervous. I really don't know though, just wanted to make sure that it wasn't a "sign" of something real serious.

 

Honestly the only ways to check is...seeing if the car will slowly start heating up. And check if you have fluid in the radiator. Also check for any leaks coming from under the car and not just your exhaust. The exhaust pipes could've just got wet from a splash of water. You never know. Better to be safe than sorry.

 

most likely its condensation unless you went car surfing. it seems like it works:

 

Is there water coming out of the exhaust pipe or just the bolts? I'd say condensation as a first guess...

 

It was just the bolts, so that's why I freaked a little.

 

water is a by-product of combustion. there should be water


Gasoline does contain hydrogen, and when gasoline is burned, some of that hydrogen combines with the oxygen being used to burn it, producing water.

 

Yeah, it was just a little too early to call it a blown headgasket. Sorry. Forgot to ask did you remember if the water smelled like coolant?

 

You are new best friend. Well I found out that my exhaust almost killed a lady last night. I was told by the police who came to my job today to pay me a visit, that my exhaust made a ladies pacemaker fail. wtf...

 

Did you taste the water?

 

What? Exhaust can't make a pacemaker fail. Not unless it somehow puts an electric potential across her heart and pacemaker...wtf ha ha.

Perhaps it was so loud it caused her heart to fibrillate which would only continue if her pacemaker was already non-functioning...

 

hahahaha whattttt
