I just bought a 99 Audi a4 quattro. I turned it on this morning and while on park pressed on the gas pedal. As I walked around I noticed some clear liquid dripping from the exhaust. I pressed the pedal a second time and more came out. The oil looks good, the liquid(water) that leaked also looked clean. Can you maybe clarify why my car is leaking.Thanks.

Hi there,

Water is a normal by-product of the combustion process, when the engine & exhaust is cool, the water vapor in the exhaust gases condenses back to a liquid, this is what you see, when the exhaust is up to temp, the water is not visible.
