hi guys,

today i did 2 short trips. and when i got home. i noticed the exhaust is pumping out some thin white smoke. and there seems to be some water (dark) dripping out at the exhaust pipe. not particularly smelly gas. any ideas?? a little worry.

thanks

Nothing to worry about its just condensation.

I do short journies all the time to work and mine does this all the time.

The black is just the crap from inside the exhaust coming out with the water.

I agree with mx6-uk that it's probably just condensation but to be on the safe side monitor the coolant level and colour, just in case you have a head gasket problem.

It's unlikely because these are very robust engines.
