So I think one of my original mufflers is starting to leak. I havent noticed much difference in noise, but everytime I park the car it seems to leave a puddle under this muffler. I looked and you can see it drip. It is water not coolant. Should I expect to be replacing my exhaust soon?
most mufflers have a drain hole drilled in them to let the water drain from them. hydrogen and oxygen are both byproducts of combustion and you may get water in you exhaust system which is nothing to really worry about until it starts rusting away.

In fact, you generate nearly a gallon of water for every gallon of gas burned. Most of it isn't noticed as invisable vapor. When conditions are right, you can get a lot of water out of the exhaust, or dripping from the exhaust drain holes.
