What the resident idiot is trying to say is that if it is just a
little bit of condensed water running out as the system warms up
you've got nothing to worry about.  (i.e just a few drops / not more
than 1/2 cup).  

However if it continues to do so when the engine and exhaust is hot
you may have to get it inspected.

PS A/C water tends to run out near the condenser (at the front of the
vehicle.

Good luck, likely it's nothing to worry about.

Booooooring.  Heard it a million times already from other trolls.  Like I

Internal combustion engines create water when running. The
water is created in the form of steam. However until the
exhaut system heats up, the water will condense in the cool
muffler and liguid water can and does run out the exhaut.
After the muffler heats up, the water vapor doesn't condense
and exits the exhaust system as steam.

It doesn't create water, the water is already in the air it takes in for
combustion in the form of humidity. That humidity just condenses in the exhaust
as it cools. Live in a very humid area, you get a fair amount of water out the
exhaust, live in a dry climate you get less.

Certainly some of the water in the exhaust comes from the water vapor in the
air. However, more is created when you burn gasoline. After all, this is how
you get the energy out. You are convreting a hydrocarbon (hydrogen + carbon)
fuel into water (H20), Carbondioxide (CO2), some other stuff (CO, NOX, etc)
and energy. The amount of water created by combining ozygen and hydrogen in
most cases is greater than the vapor included with the intake charge.

Try looking at http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/chem99/chem99583.htm .
I'll net it out. For each gallon of gasoline you burn, you'll create
somewhere around 1 gallon of water.
