Exhaust UFO!

[plrubin]

I have a 2003 protege es. I had a very small leak start about 3 months ago. I couldn't seem to trace the leak?? I recently put an AM Muffler tip on (cut and weld job).

I live in MN and it is starting to get colder and now the leak seems to be a little worse. Also, it seems to be leaking where the muffler was welded and also is coming out of the muffler tip. Starting to think that it is somehow connected to the exhaust system??

The liquid is clear and unscented. I check all my resevoirs coolant, oil, powersteering, brake fluid is all good. It seems to be just some kind of moisture build up???

I was thinking maybe I should just replace my whole exhaust system w/ a catback and N1 muffler??

HELP!!!!!!!!! Any ideas would be appreciated.

your muffler is leaking fluid?

if you are getting a couple of drops of water, thats normal. and assoonas the caris warmed up, it should stop. water vapor is a by product of combustion.
