Is it normal for a small amount to come from the exhaust?

Normal that for petrols,

Really? I thought it was something to do with a car being used for lots of small journeys and it not warming up properly?

Anything petrol with a cat-alystic convertor does it as a rule,
ive not seen many Modern petrol cars not, spit out the odd drip

my mate once had a vauxhall cavalier 2.0 16v and that use to pump water out the exhaust.
normal . means cat convertor doing its job properly .

When you burn any hydrocarbon fuel, you produce carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and water ( normally as a gas i.e. steam )

If it comes out of the exhaust as water, then it's cooling down and condensing.

Roughly 1 gallon of water, for each galon of petrol.....

welly could start a flood all by himself!

Worse in cold weather when the exhaust is cold & the water condenses more quiclkier.

Not a problem. Unless it's disappearing from the engine....

When it rains in Northampton you have me to thank, next time taste a drop......it'll have 'notes' of Super Unleaded and Fully Synthetic Castrol oil

So that's why Carlsberg has tasted even worse in the last couple of years.
