'93 Volvo 240 leaking water from exhaust
Could this indicate a problem?
I read somewhere that it is common and nothing to worry about unless the amount of water coming out is like a steam.
I can't really say whether or not there is a stream of water coming out but I notice a small puddle of water present under the exhaust pretty much every time after I park and turn off the car.
I also smelled it and didn't detect any strange or sweet odors.
This just seems weird though. I have never had this occur with any other vehicles I've owned in the past.
Any insight welcome, thanks

when gasoline is completely burned with oxygen, the result of combustion includes water vapor (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). especially when the exhaust system is cold, a fair amount of that water vapor condenses in the mufflers and dribbles through the drain holes and/or sputters out the tail pipe. virtually all cars do this.

Thanks for the replies. Yes, fluid levels are fine, though we know the car needs some uogrades and a tune-up besides the cracked engine mounts we just had replaced...
On another note, anyone know what the rusty part (tube/pipe right above the oil filter) in the picture I uploaded in this reply is ? It looks really bad and like it should be replaced asap.

looks like the heater pipe. goes from the water pump towards the firewall where it connects to the heater hose that goes through the firewall to the heater core. its actually the return line from the heater core, the hot water comes out a fitting on the back of the head and into the other side of the heater core.
