Water spraying from muffler

[Stevemata]

I recently had some overheating problems, I replaced my thermostat and it's cracked housing.

I noticed since my overheat incident that my muffler is spraying water when I first start the car. After I shutoff the car I hear a gurgling sound.

I followed the air bleed instructions, coolant level is staying level after a thousand miles from the change.

Any idea?

It is normal to have some water come out of the exhaust at first due to condensation, there is even a hole in the bottom of the muffler for the water to drain.

I suggest that you have a hydrocarbon sniff test done on the cooling system and pray that it is negative.

water out of the exhaust is completely normal, all cars do it

The water is spraying out of the drain hole in the muffler. It didn't use to do that it.

Check you antifreeze level first thing in the morning when you Lincoln LS is cold, it is probably low.

after i shut off my car, i hear it too. open the hood and look at the degas bottle. it's likely fluid draining back into it. i don't know if it's normal or not, but mine does it.
