Ok this is gonna be the BIGGEST noob question ever, but I dont care its buggin me...

Ok I just recently bought an 88 CRX HF, and I am not driving it yet, so I just run it once in a while to keep the battery good etc....

Well when I crank it up, there is the usual cold steam that every car has when it first cranks when its cold, but there is also sooty water coming out... Not too bad, but more than I like lol... Its like drip, drip, drip and within a few mins I have a nice black water puddle... I am hoping its just condensation, but I never noticed it on my previous two Hondas, or any car for that matter... may have been just because I never ran em idle for 15 mins in the garage, but then again I didnt need to... Anyway, is this a normal thing or cause for concern??? Also the idle is a little rough once in a while, but I attribute that to the fact that no one had driven it for several months prior to my purchase of it, and it needs a tune up... Anyway sorry to get off on a tangent, I just figured I'd give any info that might help, but my main concern is the water drip... Thanks ahead of time...

I'd say youre fine. Once you start driving it and you get it a tune up then check it again.

it's fine noob... haha there is nothing to worry about. Check it after you drive it, and then see.
