Water not a hazard
Asked by Brian Mackay
MY 1993 EB Falcon releases a quarter-cup to a half-cup of water from the exhaust at start-up. My mechanic mate reckons it's a good sign. I'm not losing any radiator fluid. I've recently had a new exhaust system fitted. Is it a good sign?.
Answered by CarsGuide
29 Jun 2006IT'S not uncommon for water to be expelled from the exhaust at start-up, particularly when the engine is cold. It is condensation that accumulates in the exhaust system as the engine cools down after being run, and is then expelled when you start the engine again. It's nothing to worry about.
