Water vapor coming out of tailpipe
Just wondering if i should be concerned?? Every time i start the car up, it spits water vapor out of the tailpipe. I also just drained my oil catch can, and there appears to be a water like substance, or something that smells like rubbing alcohol. I have never drained ANY oil out of it, just this alcohol like substance. FYI, i am running E85 fuel. Dont know if that makes any difference. Also, I am gravity draining the Turbo oil return line straight into the sump, and no issues with backed up oil.

That's 100% normal - condensation created during rapid temperature change (water pulled out of the air).

Now as far as what I hear is fired out of Paul's tailpipe, that's definitely not normal!!!

water vapor H2O is a byproduct of combustion. Hydrocarbons combine with Oxygen, and some of the result it water. The cold weather condenses this in your muffler and it comes out as liquid.

Maybe you should check that the cooling system isn't leaking into the combustion chamber...

that's why exhaust systems rust out, especially when cars are driven short distances. they don't have enough time to burn off the moisture and they rust.
