Condensation water leak at exhaust joint

[Johnny248]

Would condensation leaking from an exhaust joint be considered a positive? Is it worth sealing up better, or just leaving alone. Maybe it could be considered good so that it is not sitting around rusting/rotting out the pipe? I know some mufflers have drain holes for this reason, but I'm not sure I've ever seen a pipe.

If condensation leaks, so does exhaust, possibly into your car. It'll only get worse. Do you feel lucky?

I Yellowknife in winter- engines were known to get choked out due to excessive water freezing in the exhaust. My Honda used to gurgle until I drilled small drains in both mufflers- always a small puddle wherever parked.

the F150 leaks out the joints since new. Don't seal them.

Mine too. Most mufflers have weepholes to let out water too.
