Hey everyone. So I've had my truck running a few times and I've noticed the exhaust drips both out of the exit and where the middle and rear sections join.
Over here most of our trucks are diesel and this never happens so it's a new thing for me.
Is it just because the engine isn't up to temperature yet or is it something more serious like inefficient fuel burning?
(Not worried about the leaky middle pipe, I know that's just a shit gasket.)
 
Water is normal. That's how the catalytic converter works. Changes fumes to water. Also colder temps you'll see more

Ok cool. I thought it might be temperature related -whether engine or atmosphere.
Daytime temps here at the mo are like 6°c so that probably explains alot.
(I struggled to get the trd badge remains off the door because it had gone brittle)

Thanks.
