My car seem to be leaking small amount of fuel out of tail pipes for a few minutes after engine start, idling. I do not observe this when I come back from a short drive

Hi there,

This is not fuel but water, the engine produces about 1 liter of water per liter of fuel burned when the engine and exhaust is hot the water is superheated and is not visible this is normal.
