WAter Leaking from exhaust manifold

[MrTsi95]

hi,
well i was running my car the other day and noticed there was water leaking from exhaust manifold, what could this be?? TUrbo? Head? thank

I am duly impressed - it takes EFFORT to screw your car up to the point where coolant is leaking from the exhaust manifold. Especially since coolant doesnt run to or through your exhaust manifold.

Are you running emissions?

 

[Nanan]

Was it a little water or a crapload?

Btw Water is a product of combustion so there will always be a little in the exhaust system.

 

[MrTsi95]

it is a few drops, i barly brought the car and havent driven it, its leaking where the manifold gets the head, all emissions are in place, what could it be?

 

[MrTsi95]

also the radiator cap is messed up and leaks quite it bit when warm but the leak is on the other end of the manifold could it have somethin to do with it??

Yes - if coolant is leaking from the cap as steam, condensing on the bottom of your hood and leaking down into the engine compartment, then yes, it could cause that.

wow get a new cap. Little bits of water are not to be worried about. Do you have an exhaust leak at that spot? If not then chances are it's not actually coming from their. Replace your coolant cap and clean everything up and then see what happens.
