A liquid coming out of my y pipe I had a leak with the slip fits on the header collecters and y pipe so I tightened it up and started the car and noticed a few drips of a clear orange tint liquid comen out this is the second time I noticed it since I put the headers on what do you think it is. They are coated pacesetter headers.

My car sometimes gets some drips off the exhaust. It's just condensation. It could be just some **** that got into the headers before they were on. But you say it's kind of orange-ish...best bet (just to make sure) is catch some of the liquid in a small clear cup, like a little blue cheese cup, and check it out.

he said the liquid was orange but his coolant is green. im gonna stuck with rust. i have the same problem when i take off the cutoff plates. the rust collects on the gasket and when i take it off i get water + rust dripping. if you can get a drop on your hand rub it. it should feel kinda gritty and afterwords your hand should smell like metal.

I have green coolant that is safe for any car it says but the liquid could be coolant with water in it.
It seems that its leaking and it smells like coolant burning for a while now. 2 weeks ago I lost power stearing because some how coolant got on my belt and wasnt spinning the power stearing so now its all starting to add up. It must be just leaking alittle and the 1 time it leaked alot and stoped The car wasnt even warmed up when that happen. I just need to fing where the coolant is coming from. What do you think.
