[Fred@BTM]

water is normal to come out of an exhaust, oil isnt (unless its an old banger)

petrol + air ---> nitrogen + CO2 + water

Water coming out of your exhaust is normal until the car heats up enough that its steam that comes out and you don't see it.

Even if its not water from combustion, if its water leaking into the cylinder from a failed head gasket, once the car warms up and the exhaust gets up to its operating temperature it should be turning into steam and coming out as that, not as water.

its 1 1997 rt, with 75,000 on it not that much of a banger

The "oil" might actually be just carbon build up in the water, water is normal this is why exhausts rot through and blow.
