Liquid flowing through tailpipe - cause for concern?

[JCH200]

Hi, Folks!

Another question... I've noticed some liquid falling from the tailpipe of my new 2020 Winnebago Sunstar, which is a Ford F-Series V-10. Is this liquid cause for concern?

It may be noteworthy that it's been extremely hot here in South Florida this summer - in the 90s every day with a lot of rain and humidity. I'm running the in-dash AC when I'm running the RV. But the liquid appears after only a few minutes of use. All input much appreciated! Thanks!

Not at all. The products of combustion are water, CO2, and N2.

It's perfectly normal for some condensation to exit the tail pipe when you first start the engine.

If you saw clouds of white smoke that would be an engine problem. But 1/2 cup or less of condensation is totally not a concern and is normal.

No doubt your cars have done this for decades and you never noticed it before.

Okay, got it! Thanks for the responses!

Does it stop after the engine has warmed up?
