How worried should I be?
I usually drive my truck on the weekends. its a 454, when I first start it, after its been sitting for the week, it blows liquid out of the exhaust. the liquid looks like a mix of water and oil. It goes away after it warms up. Does this sound like a serious issue? Thanks

Re: How worried should I be?
Its probably the cooler weather, condensation. what looks like oil is probably the water mixing with soot in the exhaust pipe..

I would not worry unless it happens when it's warm.

Re: How worried should I be?
I agree that it's more than likely condensation. I see that on my vehicles too. Just be sure to drive it long enough to completely dry out the exhaust system when you do start it.

Re: How worried should I be?
It can still happen when it is warm out. The water in the exhaust has to get hot enough to turn to vapor you don't see. This is a good indication that you don't have any exhaust leaks, or the condensation would be running out somewhere else.

Re: How worried should I be?
Years ago mufflers had pin holes in them for this very thing.
