Fix your car so it doesn't run rich.

i agree with murdock......there can be water condensation in your exhaust somtimes, there's nothing wrong with that, and as it runs out i guess it will bring all the shlt with it.....then again i dont know why it would "spit" out instead of just drizzling out


being rich is gonna make black smoke not black liquid

What do you think carbon buildup is from? CO2 and water aren't black.
