This water is actually moisture that is liquefying with the aid of your exhuast heat inside the pipes. If you live in a humid area, this water will continually drip from your tail pipes, other wise it will stop after the engine warms up.

How do you draw an explanation of how water is made in a car engine?
If you are referring to the water that drips from the exhaust when the engine is running, it is formed by the burning (oxidation) of the carbon and hydrogen that makes up the gasoline. When the carbon/hydrogen molecule combines with oxygen during the burning process, carbon dioxide and water are formed. The water vapor condenses into liquid form as it passes through the exhaust and we see it dripping out as water.
Why do you have water dripping out of 87 CBR1000F muffler when you stop the bike not really using up coolant and no water in the oil mufflers are also not the lowest point in exhaust?
The water you see comming from the exhaust is condensation. A by product of the combustion process is water and until the exhaust system gets hot enough to maintain the water in the exhaust in a gaseous state it will condense (fall out of the exhaust stream) in the exhaust system. After the engine gets warm and heats up the exhaust system the water does not condense in the exhaust system anymore and is dirrected into the atmosphere. P.K.
Gas smell from exhaust looking like gas dripping from exhaust pipe?
i really dont think gas is dripping out of the sxhasut pipe..it just impossible as the gas in pulverized inside the combustion chaber..:))) that s jsut water--condensation? try to light it up you ll see it wont burn. if your exahust is smelling like unburnt gasoline...you must be running rich. check you O2 sensor..and check for a stuck MAF

What causes oily residue to form on the inside edge of the tailpipe?
One of the by products of combustion is water, when you start the car, the exhaust pipe will be cold, the water will therefore condense from gas on to the cold metal of the exhaust ( you can often see cars will water dripping from the exhaust on cold mornings!). Oil will also do the same thing, especially some of the thicker parts of the diesel.
Does water dripping from tailpipe mean the catalytic converter is faulty?
No, water coming from the exhaust is normal in small amounts. The temp differences causes condensation. When the car sits, the exhaust is cold or ambiant temp. When the vehicle starts, the exhaust system warms up, causing condensation. There are actually weep holes in most mufflers to let the water out to prevent rust.
