Hi all. Wondering if anyone can diagnose something. I have occasionally in the last few months had leaking of a clear liquid from my left tail pipe. It doesn't always happen. Definitely not coolant. Any ideas? Thanks, in advance. -- Mikey

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi Mikey, I don't mean to sound stupid, but all of my cars blow water out of the exhaust. I thought that it was normal for a small amount of water to condense inside your exhaust as it cools down. Mark.
It is normal, it has to do with the climate and the temp of the exhaust. Moisture in the air and heat from the exhaust can create condensation. Which is forced out by the blowing of the exhaust.
Mikey - it means that you car has developed hemmorids! Seriously, it is normal, as michael.s.under stated above ^
Normal? Er, OK. Guess I'm not used to normal. Thanks. -- M
Where do you think all that petrol you burn goes? Nitric oxides etc aside, it turns into water and CO2, and given the a 996 produces 300g of Co2 per kilometre (nothing in terms of the weight of fuel burnt), that means that every gallon of fuel produces nigh on a gallon of water. Hence the steam on a cold day, and the water dripping out of your exhaust - both generally only present when the exhaust is cold. Cheers Mark
