    dirt out of the exhaust ?

    well my dad's car has dirt coming out of the exhaust ( black liquid ) , it happens mostly when car is cold and increases when you floor it !! , car runs fine , gas milage fine ! fuel filters , sparks , air filter , oil , oil filter all replaced less than 2000 miles ago !

    what could this be ?

    thanx a lot guys!

    Could this just be combustion water (by-product) condensing due to the cold exhaust pipe and mixing with the soot? If it does not happen when the exhaust pipe is warmed up then I wouldnt worry about it, especially if you coolant is not an odd color and does not look like it is contaminated with oil.

    Prolly just like carbon build up. It happens here, too. Leaves a nice black ashy type stain on the cement, too.

    Condensation is normal and for the black its probably just soot.
