Zook runs fine, no noises or vibrations, but a slow drop of water does tend to come out of the exhaust. I've smelt it and its not fuel. Its not condensation because it happens even after cars been running all day, no where near water. Exhaust is brand new and all fluids seem to be at correct levels.

Whats the go?


Oh, and I'm pretty sure my engine isn't combusting hydrogen instead of hydrocarbons.

bit of condensation in the exhaust is normal, but not if it's been running all day long. Keep an eye on your water levels over the next few weeks. It may be an indication of cylinder head problems.
