White exaust smoke
I noticed today that, when I shut-off my car and get out, white exaust slowly "drizzles" out of my drivers' side exaust pipe. It doesn't do this for very long, but it only happens on the drivers' side exaust. Does this mean one of the piston rings is wearing-out? Maybe a problem with the heads? It is pretty cool today (about 45-50 degrees), so I can easily see this happening.
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks.

unless it has a sweet smell to it its nothing to worry about. Water is one of the normal combustion products of gasoline

me too
Yeah me too i've notice that, i still not sure if it's normal in my case, because i have Dual with no crossflow and only my driver side blow a bit of condensation (no cats).
I think i have an exaust leak at the headders flange, maybe thats why... but its in storage now so... will see in that next Spring.
if i ever get to start is this winter, i'll go take a deep breath at that driver side spintech exaust tip
:lala: HUUuummm unburned fuel AAHHHH :lala:
