I own a 1993 civic and i was doing body work on it just half an hour ago. I come to find that the towels/cardboard/etc that was in front of it were SOAKING wet. My car is slammed so i can not get under it without going through the trouble of lifting it up with my 5$ jack. I got on the side of the car and looked underneath. the fluid seems to be leaking from the exhaust?? It doesnt smell like gas/anti-freeze or anything. the fluid smells like water? What could it be??

I cant get the car more then 1 foot in the air. I do not have acess to any lifts either.

What color is it? I can't think of any fluids (other than water) that dont smell...coolant is sweet, powersteering fluid is slimy and stinks, oil is obvious, etc...

to get my car up I put it on jack stands that are on cinder blocks that I filled in the holes with concrete use 2 side by side to have a wide base for the stands to be on works pretty good but to get it up the last bit u gotta put the jack on some blocks too

If you cannot get under the car slide a piece of white posterboard under the engine and let it sit overnight. Pull it out and see what colors you have on it.

Or, put some white paper into the puddle that's already there? If towels are soaking, can you wring out? Did it rain?

Turned into a "how to jack your car up" post lmao. If it's not red or oily, counld be a leak travelling down the exhaust after you jack it up. Gravity sux. Check the water pump. Check for a drippage on a level surface. Of course look under the car before you jack it up to see any possible leaks. Sounds like it's a leak somewhere just travelling. It's impossible for a exhaust to leak any kind of fluid unless it travels in my opinion.

Hole in exhaust/gaskets blown out + condensation = exhaust leaking water.

Oh the joy's of being slammed.
