Exhaust leaking water??

[Fordphanatic]

So today after starting my truck I had a strange noise coming from underneath. I climb under the truck and look and theres water shooting out of my muffler through a weep hole and also the resonator. Trucks a brand new platinum with 1700 miles. Heres a video. Has anyone else had this happen.

Drain hole for condensation in exhaust system. Helps prevent it from collecting and rusting out the system. Normal.

Thanks for the reply. I never noticed this before so it was kind of alarming. Still not sure if I like it

Mine did that yesterday before I left for work, freaked me out. Thought I had sprung a leak at first.

Noticed similar yesterday under my KR, it seems excessive but in searching it seems to be normal. Never had anything like it on another vehicle but if the purpose is to avoid rust, all for it.

It's nothing to worry about, mine does the same thing. On previous vehicles I've drilled a small hole in the lowest part of the muffler to drain out condensation. This helps prevent rusting.

I’m glad to see the replies here. I recently took possession of a CPO PowerBoost, King Ranch, and was quite alarmed to see the condensation dripping like this. Here’s a video of what mine looks like.

My last F150 was a 2004 XLT so this is such a different machine.

H2O is the result of combustion

Exactly this. You beat me to it.

I noticed this too. exhausts last forever nowadays. I remember as a kid growing up in the 80's and 90's and it seemed that my parents cars used to need a new muffler and tailpipe every few years. we had a 1994 s-15 jimmy that had at least 3 mufflers on it during its 120k lifespan 1994-2009.
