yes. Its normal. Only be worried if you find yourself having to fill up the water coolant under the bonnet / hood every week. Then you may find your head gasket has failed. If you are not losing engine coolant ignore it. Its natural for all petrol cars to produce h2o as part of the combustion process.

If only when cold - condensation a normal condition If when hot - could be a bad head gasket, cracked head, or cracked block


Why does water come out of A tailpipe when you crank it up?

when the engine and exhaust pipes are cold, the hot exhaust will cool and moisture will condense on the exhaust pipe and drip out. Remember basic chemestry. Automotive fuels are hydrocarbons. The hydrogen molecules in the fuel turns to very hot water vapor when the fuel burns. What you are experiencing is very normal.


Is it normal for white smoke to come out of the exhaust tale pipe at startup of a 2000 Rav 4?

yes most gasoline/ petrol burning cars will have more water vapor in a cold start situation


What causes water condensation to come out of tailpipe?

When you start the car, the hot exhaust condenses on the interior of the cold exhaust system. This is normal for a few minutes until the exhaust system warms up. If the water smells and taste sweet, and you are continually adding coolant, you may have a blown head gasket. If this is the case, do not continue to drive the vehicle as serious damage will be done to the engine.

Water come out of exhaust pipes?

If you do short trip driving moisture collects in the exhaust as it doesn't have time to dry out and then you get the water coming out of the tailpipes, the hot gasses from the engine and the cold pipes when first started creates moisture.

Yes, a certain amount of water (not coolant) will drip out the tail pipe from the process of condensation.


What does it mean when water comes out the exhaust pipe of my impala?

Water comes out of all tailpipes no matter how minimal. The combustion reaction of burning gasoline (C8H18) and oxygen (02) produces carbon exhaust (Cx) and water (h20) thus leaving water in your tailpipe. Water can also appear in an exhaust pipe due to condensation. Water in an exhaust pipe is perfectly normal and is of no harm to your vehicle, or any vehicle.


What causes white smoke to come from an diesel mondeo exhaust during the first start of the day?

If it is only at the start of the day and disappears shortly after startup, it is just condensation in the exhaust that is burning off. Pretty normal, especially in cold or rainy weather.

Why is there a line of cloud behind a flying plane?

Condensation trails or contrails, as the phenomenon is known, come mostly from the exhausts of jet-powered aircraft. Jet exhaust (which contains considerable amounts of water vapor) first emerges from the engine hot then is suddenly cooled by the very cold temperatures at the normal flying altitudes of jet aircraft. If the air is near the point of saturation (and cold air cannot carry a lot of humidity), this causes the water vapor to quickly condense and even (if cold enough) freeze into ice crystals. These then form on particulate matter that is also part of the exhaust, forming the long, thin clouds you see behind the aircraft.
