Water is getting out of the exhaust - Colt Mitsubishi Cars & Trucks

Some water coming out the exhaust is normal. If there is more water than usual it could be an indication of water in the fuel. Adding a product such as Heet can help to get rid of the water and I would recommend fueling your car at a different gas station. A leaking head gasket may also be the culprit. Coolant leaking into the engine will be partially burned but will also produce water out the exhaust. Check your coolant level. If it is low this may be the problem.
Hope this helps

Cars fitted with catalytic converters, convert the exhaust gas and create water vapour, so it is quite common to get a small amount of water out of the exhaust and condensation on a cold morning. Keep a regular watch on the water level

Water coming from a exhaust is normal. The newer the car, the more emission control it has at protecting the environment and the more water you will see.

Remember that the combustion of hydrocarbon fuel produces both carbon dioxide AND water vapor as a normal part of the process. All gasoline engines produce water vapor and all water vapor condenses if the exhaust pipe is cool.

Water leaking from the exhaust when the car first starts. This is normal as the exhaust system is cold and the exhaust fumes contains a lot of water vapour (moisture). This is more noticable during very cold weather.
As your car warm up to normal operating temperature the water vapour is still present but because of the higher temperature you will not see this water vapour.

sounds like blown head gasket or cracked head allowing coolant into exhaust ports. No water in the oil just means it didnt affect water getting into the oil ports. So the breach is between the water ports and the exhaust ports. It doesnt really matter. Its till the head gasket or the head itself. sorry..

When gasoline is burnt the products are carbon dioxide and water:- 2C8H18 (gasoline) + 25O2 (air) ----------> 18H2O (water) + 16CO2 (carbon dioxide) If you take short trips the water content will condense in the cold exhaust pipe and collect in the muffler boxes (silencers). At a certain point the water will fill the mufflers, overflow and begin to dribble out of the exhaust tail pipe. It is worthwhile to occasionally give your car a longer run to allow the exhaust to become sufficiently hot and to evaporate all the collected water. The water is acidic and hastens the corrosion of the exhaust pipes.

NOT HARD BUT YOU HAVE TO DRAIN COOLANT OUT OF SYSTEM.CATCHING IT IN A DRAIN PAN .THE 2.4 ENGINE YOU HAVE TO REMOVE. OXYGEN SENSOR THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HEAT SHIELD.REMOVE COOLANT INLET HOUSING BOLT THROUGH THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD .REMOVE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BRACE TO MANIFOLD BOLT.REMOVE TO EXHAUST TO PIPE STUDS.REMOVE COOLANT INLET HOUSING TO WATER PUMP COVER BOLT.REMOVE EXHAUST PIPE FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BY PULLING IT DOWNWARD.REMOVE COOLANT INLET PIPE FROM THE OIL PAN.REMOVE BRAKE VACUUM PIPE FROM THE CAMSHAFT HOUSING.REMOVE EXHAUST MANIFOLD FROM THE CYLINDER HEAD.REMOVE HEATER HOSE FROM THE HEATER OUTLET PIPE.REMOVE THE TIMING CHAIN COVER AND TENSIONER.REMOVE WATER PUMP COVER TO ENGINE BOLTS.REMOVE 3 WATER PUMP TO TIMING CHAIN HOUSING NUTS.REMOVE THE WATER PUMP AND COVER ASSEMBLY.THE 3.1 AND 3.4 ENGINES DRAIN COOLING SYSTEM .REMOVE DRIVE BELT.REMOVE WATERPUMP PULLEY TO REMOVE PULLEY YOU NEED A LONG SKINNEY SCREW DRIVER TO HOLD PULLEY FROM TURNING WHILE YOU REMOVE THE BOLTS.THEN REMOVE WATER PUMP.CLEAN OLD GASKET MATERIAL OFF ENGINE BLOCK WHERE WATER PUMP GOES.BECAREFUL NOT TO SCRATCH PUMP SURFACE ON ENGINE BLOCK.YOU CAN BUY CAN OF GASKET REMOVER AT ANY AUTO PARTS STORES. THEN WHEN YOU PUT ON NEW WATER PUMP.BESURE TO COAT BOTH SIDES OF THE WATER PUMP GASKET WITH GASKET SEALER .BEFORE PUTTING GASKET SEALER ON WATER PUMP GASKET.BESURE TO GET HOLES MATCH UP RIGHT ON WATER PUMP AND GASKET.WHEN YOU GET IN PUMP IN PLACE TORQUE IT AT 89 INCH POUNDS AND PULLEY BOLTS 18 FT LBS.THE 2.4 ENGINE BEST TO HAVE** HAYNES REPAIR MANUAL ** BECAUSE REMOVING THE WATER PUMP YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE TIMING CHAIN AND TENSIONER.YOU NEED ALL THE EXHAUST BOLTS TORQUE SPECS.AND WHEN YOU COMPLETE WATER PUMP FIX.ADD COOLANT.CRANK ENGINE.CHECK FOR LEAKS.BLEED COOLANT SYSTEM.

This can come from the exhaust. Modern cars use a catalytic converter to reduce emmissions and part of the process can produce water which get s pushed out with the exhaust gases. You mention how large a pool it is. Normal exhaust would produce only a small amount of water.

Another reason could be a bad seal on the trunk which is allowing rain water into the trunk which then drains onto the floor. Check your trunk carpeting for dampness.

you may have a blown head gasket ... water can get into a cylinder .. that would cause the rough running and the water goes out the exhaust .. thats why you cant find the leak .. often as the engine is running you will see bubbles in the radiator .. thats exhaust gas getting into the water jacket ... you may also see a little steam in the exhaust (white smoke) ..
