Exhaust Leak

[1hotls]

I know, here I am talking about another issue with my lincoln besides my darn brake problem that i still cannot fix. Has nayone experienced or seen when a Lincoln ls is on and has wormed up, water vapor leaking below two of the cat backs and in the middle of the exhaust right below the transmission. I am not sure if that is normal or should I take it for a test? Thank you.

i would not worry about it unless you have not had any sharp temp changes and/or increase in precipitation. Water tends to condenstate in the pipes as a result of temp changes and moisture changes. Have you noticed any other driveablity problems?

You know I have noticed the whole drivability thing because my car is starting to eat gas and sometimes it is faster than other times especially when it's not too warmed up.

I have seen this on several different models. I have never crawled under and looked, but I will bet the farm that there are shields and drains for moisture that collects. I'm sure this is perfectly normal...just like LincolnTech38 states.

Gas mileage always goes down when the weather turns cooler.
