	I've been told this is normal, especially on something that's been stood. The car doesn't use water or overheat or mix oil/water into some horrible sludge, or even steam/smoke. On starting up, you get dripping from the exhaust, and revving the car, water literally sprays out of the system for about a meter! The car will need a new exhaust as it looks like it's rotting out from the inside (the water is actually quite rusty). There's no oil or discolouration (apart from a bit rustiness from the system), and it dries in the sun on the floor in a few minutes.

	Is this something that's still standing around, or has it been run on the road? It sounds like you have a silencer full of rainwater!

	Or somebody has sprayed a hosepipe/pressure washer up the tailpipe when cleaning the car.

	It's been standing for ages (years). I understand when the exhaust gets hot, the water evaporates, which is why it's more 'steamy' in the winter.
