Hi - I drove around 1 mile today evening and parked my car. It was getting slightly cold and while I came back to the car after around 20 mins, I observed something dripping below exhaust pipe. I thought it must be oil. However, while I checked it, it didn't feel like oil. Rather it felt like water ( it wasnt definitely not dense like oil)

1) Is it because the short drive I made didn't heat up the exhause so that the water droplets will be converted to vapor?

2) Is it that my car has any problem? Or is it normal to have the exhaust have some water dripping after short drives?

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

If you are nor having any coolant loss problems then yes this is just normal water vapor in the exhaust that has condensed back into a liquid.
