Today after taking a couple of short trips with the car I noticed a leak from the rear of the car. I checked the fluid and it's clear, has no odd smell and rubbing it between my fingers felt like water.
Is it normal that the exhaust leaks water? The last few days has been a fair bit colder so perhaps it's condensation from heating up the exhaust?
There is a space which allows condensation to leak from the exhaust - mainly due to the fact that the OEM exhaust is angled upwards so it needs to have egress somewhere.
Pretty common to find some leaking - I have a piece of cardboard under mine and i get a few drops each drive. Once it dries, it should seem like soot.
Yep, perfectly normal and nothing to worry about, it's simply water condensation with a purposely placed little hole in the exhaust pipe to give it somewhere to escape from.
Mine leaks as well but for some strange reason only on the left side.
