Spitting water on warm up? Is it normal for the car to spit some water out the exhaust about 3-5 mins after starting it up? It is about a minute after steam starts coming out the pipes, so I'm assuming its just condensation (40 and below here lately) but I had just never noticed it before. It has no odor or color and is not slippery. It spits these little droplets for about 5 mins or until you start driving, not enough to soak a spot on the driveway, but enough to look like it rained briefly in that spot.....
Just curious. Found out my oil pan is leaking a tad too. Around that plastic guard thing on the passenger side. It never ends!

Now that I have my coolant leak up front fixed I'm gonna keep an eye on the level and make sure its not coming from there. No beads on the dipstick so I think its ok....
