Something's leaking

[NilesS]

I have a 1982 911 with about 90,000 miles. After a short drive (4 miles) the other day, I noticed a twin trail of moisture following me up my driveway after parking the car. The spots dried quickly and left no stain. Went out this morning, started the car and got a pretty good flow of moisture dripping off the bottom of the engine until it warmed up, then it quit. Again, no stain. I collected some -- clear with no taste, so I presume it is water. Took the car out for a quick drive, pulled up my driveway, and there was the twin trail of spots following me the driveway.

Car runs great and no signs of any issues yet. I just moved to North Carolina from Southern California, and, since our garage is still full of stuff we should never have moved, I have had to leave the car outside in some pretty cold weather. Could a hose have cracked? Can anyone recommend a good mechanic in or near Charlotte?

Sounds like condensation out of the exhaust system. No water in our cars except the windshield washer bottle. No problem if water is dripping. Run it long and hard to burn off the water.

edit: One other source might be that if you left the car out in the rain, you might have a leak into the car that is now dripping out. Let's hope not.

does your car have air conditioning. sometimes that will leave some water on the garage floor from condensation. either way though unless it was out in the rain , like Terry said it's just condensation, and as long as it's not oil you're ok.
