water leak

[cliffordliam]

hello, just looked under my fiat punto 51 reg, there is water coming from under engine where exhaust join is, what could it be

 

[T14086]

could be....water.

where exactly do you mean?

 

[cliffordliam]

basically, i looked under the car, and where the exhaust manifold joins there is water dripping??

 

[T14086]

water is a by product of combustion and can (like my punto) be seen dripping sometimes from where the catalyst meets the flexi-joint under the car, is this where you mean?

(water also drips from air-con outlet if your car is fitted with air conditioning)

 

[cliffordliam]

yeah thats correct, what is the reason for this ??

 

[T14086]

I was crap at chemistry!...........

so im guessing there is nothing wrong with the car then, its just a thing that happens??

if car runs ok, no loss of coolant/fuel then without physically seeing it yeah seems ok (puntos often rot here at the flexi)
