Water

All

I have not started my car in a while as I am waiting on the durametric cable to show up today to figure out why I was getting the flashing CEL. I started it briefly this morning. Chilly morning here in Florida. CEL was not on nor flashing. But, I noticed that there was some dripping of what must be condenstation right in front of the big Cats on either side where they are connected to the exhaust (the u pipe area). Again - GHL Exhaust. The GHL exhaust sits a little tilted upward - kind of like a lambo exhaust but not as tilted- and I heard what sounded like water gurgling out the back of the exhaust with condensation at the tips as well.

Is this just a matter of condensation because of the chilly morning and not starting the car? It is water as it dried right up on the concrete...and I saw the drops coming off the exhaust under the car...

Thoughts?

It's just condensation. My car gets it all the time. If I go out early in the morning there will be a puddle under my car. Don't be concerned. Bottle it and sell it as Porsche water. Should sell for about 20.00 a bottle
