Multiple exhaust leaks

[nitrobass24]

I remote started the other morning and when I came outside I noticed a bunch of water on the ground by the rear passenger door. I crawled under the truck and it was blowing condensation out of the muffler and resonator in multiple locations.

Would something like this be covered by the PB power train warranty? I’m at 53k miles.

It's normal. Mine does it as well.

I believe it's the weep holes that allow moisture to drain from the exhaust so it doesn't pool and rust out the pipes. Mine does it too

Ok thanks I won’t worry about it then?

Nope. By design.

Don’t forget to check you headlight fluid while your down there

Normal.

During the summer you'll get condensation from your ac by the passenger front tire.

Water out your muffler and also your exhaust tip.

Sometimes I get paranoid and dip my finger in the puddles just to make sure its just water haha

Prevents water blasts out of the tailpipe -- well it helps reduce it significantly. More water is generated than gasoline is burned so it makes sense to deal with it in this manner.

Water is one of the byproducts of combustion. Until the exhaust system gets fully heated up the metal of the exhaust system will cause that steam to condense inside the system. Those weep holes are there so that as it condenses, it will drain away. If they weren't there the exhaust system could rot away... Why? Well rust is one reason but another is sulfuric acid, which is another byproduct of combustion. So, be happy and let it drain, let it drain let it drain...
