Sooo, is it normal to get a HUGE puddle of water out of my exuast? That has been doing that since I bought my contour in the summer... and Ive refilled gas in it many times now. Even if I idle for about 5 Minutes in my driveway, that will form a huge puddle of water... Yet the engine seems to run fine




How big is "HUGE"? Are we talking a cup, a pint, a gallon?
A 3 inch circle, a 3 foot circle? Does it smell like anti freeze, or is your coolant level droping? (sign of a head gasket leak.) A little more info is needed here.


As I pointed out, it is entirely normal for water to drip out of the exhaust of a catalytic converter equiped car. Especially when idling at first start up. The exhaust piping is not heated at that point and the water will actualy condense inside the pipes and drip out the tailpipe.
