Post Condensation from Exhaust

I have a 2001 L and have been noticing a lot of water coming out of the tips. I took a look underneath the truck only to see more condensation (water) all around the exhaust pipes leading into the muffler, and coming out of them. Anyone experienced this? Is this normal or what? Thanks

the rule of thumb around here is:
1: clear water from exhaust= ok
2: green water from exhaust= bad

Hye_Bolt,

It's funny you bring that up because I just noticed the same thing this weekend, I figured it was because it was so humid here in Florida.
I just used it as an excuse to go drive the crap out of it in order to dry out the mufflers

MRBBQMAM,
Luckily mine wasn't green but you can bet you a$$ I went and checked my fluid levels.

Thats the cats doing their job. The cats turn all that unburned sh*t into "harmless" water. The reason there's so much is because the A/F ratio is so rich.

The more air you pump through the engine, the more moisture that goes with it!

The blower just compresses air in the intake manifold.

If you have aver drained an air compressor, you will understand what I mean.
