Im not sure about water, but the contents are usually a mix between gas and oil blow by. if you empty it into a cup and let it sit it usually separates because its a homogeneous mixture. I empty mine into a oil drain tank at the shop i work on my car in. and for the record, I have the turbo back exhaust that originally smoked, but once i added the catch can there hasnt been one puff of smoke.
this is tru, but in colder weather water will condense within the engine, this is why you see smoke from your exhaust on cold days during cold startup. if you normally empty the occ every 1-2k, the condensation is quite substantial during that time period. if it drops below freezing you could have issues.

The reason you see steam coming out of your exhaust is because water is a product of the combustion of hydrocarbons, and when it's cold out the vapor condenses when it hits the cold air as it comes out of the exhaust pipe...
+1 Just like exhaling in cold air.
Ever seen water come out of an exhaust system on startup? I'd bet that it's all the vapor that was in the manifold condensed when the exhaust cooled off and was expelled when it started again.

Sorry I meant to say oil and bad fuel. I was typing fast. Both of these have a pour point that is below 0 and not at freezing.

Yup
It was fairly unavoidable. We have had a ridiculous amount of snow here in the midwest so we have snowdrifts 8 feet high in our neighborhood. So I pulled up to a stop sign and had to stay back 5 feet to see if any traffic was coming since the largest piles are right on the corners. When it was clear I tried to go as fast as I could around the corner but got caught up in some of the snow piles in the intersection which slowed me down enough so that the civic that came over the hill couldn't stop in time even though he had probably 100 ft to stop going 10 mph. He didn't have the greatest tires but it's still my fault since I was pulling away from a stop sign. He swerved to avoid me but we still clipped bumpers. Not a lot of damage but it will still be expensive. Most of the scrapes in the picture are not scrapes but just dirt. It looks a lot better now that I wiped it off.Attachments

Paid full pop for a Cobb AP after I sold mine when my engine blew up...
No one around here is selling one for an MS3/MS6/RX8. Oh well, I like new and shiny anyways.

I like your decal but MOST americans will not get it.
My wife and I attended a tea party last April 15th.
