Mustang leaking water from exhaust

[IXRperformance]

My 00 GT is leaking water from the exhaust. Like a half a cup per pipe. What is this. Please help me out.

If it's only during the first few minutes of cold start up.....don't worry about it, it's only condensation. If it's still doing it after a drive where the car has been fully warmed up, then I might worry about a head gasket problem.

Stick your finger in the water and taste it. If it's sweet, I'd start preparing to tear the engine down.

......for all the things I've stuck my tongue into over the years, a little dab of antifreeze would be a welcome change.

exactly if it's during warm up then its condensation but after that then i would have a taste of the water lol

Remember chemistry class? Combustion of hydrocarbons (CxHy) generates carbon dioxide and water vapor. There is humidity in the incoming air, too, but it is small compared to the water of combustion.

The water vapor condenses in the cold exhaust piping, just like a frosty beer mug sweats in the humid summer months. If you don't drive long enough for the piping to get hot (short trips), then it is completely normal to have water dribble out of the exhaust, usually at the intermediate and cat-back joint(s).

I'm sure it's just condensation, if it was antifreeze you would also notice white smoke from the the exhaust.
