Technical Water Dripping

Why would water drip from one side of the exhaust pipe? Dual exhaust no crossover.

 

no white smoke? probably just Condensation.

 

On only one side of the engine? Car has been sitting idle for a week.

 

Where was the car parked.

 

Heat riser valve on one side, maybe?

 

In the garage 85 degrees and no heat riser

 

Dual plane or single plane intake.

 

Perhaps the "no drip" side has the water settling in the exhaust pipe or muffler due to an uneven surface.

 

Stand back, it's about to have a baby in the very near future

The exact same thing happened to my wife

 

Drive it 'till it's warmed up and see if it still does it. Only one side is a bit concerning but maybe one side drains and the other doesn't. I suppose you may have a bad head gasket or a cracked head (or worse), but it's too early to tell for sure and tough to know from here.

 

If it has no smell and clear drill a 1/8” hole in the rear edge of the muffler at the lowest point… then the condensation will be under the car and you won’t see it.

 

Maybe that side is burning so clean it's only emitting H2O, and no CO2

 

It's magic

 

Got bubbles in the radiator? Probably condensation....

 

Is your water/coolant level dropping? If not its most likely just condensation. The 1/8" drain holes are always a good idea and will extend the life of the exhaust components. Try parking in the garage 180 deg. out from how your parking now and see if it switches sides. Variations in air flow and temperature gradients can do weird things.
