#42184, "Excess of water in exhaust"


          

Ok, a couple of weeks ago i noticed coolant/water coming from where the cat bolts onto the exhuast. Expecting the worst I took it to satan (still under warrenty). They ended up replacing the water pump, tensionor, timing belt and I think a rear main oil seal (or something, cant remember). I get the car back and it doesnt leaking from the cat anymore (hooray).

Last night me and some friends are bs'ing in a parking lot trying to figure out what we are going to do. My car is on and idling the whole time for about 20 to 30 minutes. By this time the car has managed to make a puddle of water the size of a dinner plate on the pavement. Its not cold or anything here right now, 60 to 70 degrees...wtf?!

Take it back to satan and tell them to do it right? or is it something simpler. TIA.

the more water your car makes during combustion, the more complete the combustion is.. you should be happy.
