Leaks small amount of coolant which is untraceable in the exhaust and oil? Clear water comes out both exhausts upon startup----accumulation?

Hi there,

Have a coolant pressure test done first, this will locate any external coolant leaks, as for the water in the exhaust, this is normal as water is produced in the combustion process but as the exhaust is cold on start up this moisture has condensed from steam back into a liquid,
