recently my exhaust smokes alot more with a strong gas smell and has been dripping water consently?

 

its just a sign of a healthy exhaust, its condensation from within, totally normal

 

wow ok thanks alot put myself in ease!

 

What color smoke? I know I don't know everyting but here is what I've learned:
White smoke is usually burning oil
Black smoke is usually unburned fuel
Can't remember what blue ish smoke is
Just my opinion but the water part is normal.

 

this was just now and it was kinda dark out but was like greyish but not to dark

 

probably just steam, water is a normal element from a gasoline engine, steam is just from cold weather.

 

it also had a strong gas smell what can that be?

 

white smoke is warter evaporating into steam....... ever trew warter on something hot?
blueish smoke 9 times out of 10 is burnign oil..... have you never used a weedeater? or ran any two stroke motor?

and if youve got a huge fart cannon on the *** end of your car its condensation think about it the bigger the entrance you have into your exhaust system the more warter vapor is allowed to intrued and there for causeing condesation and steam

 

Your rite but he said nothig about smoking. Water dripping is normal especially when you have AC on

 

EH?!

 

I see you have 1 post. Just a friendly hint. Know your stuff when you post on here or you'll get bashed hard. The guy who corrected you was nice to you. Good luck!

 

water is nothing out of the norm. every car will have that. if its cold out, your car will seem like its "smoking" much like when you breath out you can see the water vapor from your breath.

also when its colder, your motor will run a little richer, so that could be where the smell could be coming from.

 

Maybe, but I doubt it. I can't recall ever smelling fuel in the exhaust when my cars are warming up, certainly not strongly.

Unburned fuel in the exhaust stream is not good.

OP: have a CEL by chance?

 

relax, it's normal.

 

i always smell rich exhaust when its colder around my friends civic, teg and also my car. when its warmer not so much.

 

every morning when i warm up my car and it is hovering around 35-40 degress it runs rich and smells rich.

 

I thought I remember readding in some FITV or IACV thread that the ecu tells the motor to inject more fuel when you first start the car and warm up for something... may be wrong. my car will get you high as f^ck if its cold outside and you stand around. when Its warm nothing.
