Help Leaking

There's a leak in the back of my Camaro from the tanks that goes to my exhaust. It's crazy because it stops leaking when its not moving after a while. It doesn't look like oil or gas. My parents said it could be water but I don't think so. It stopped leaking for a while then we had another rain storm and it went back to leaking. Another thing I notice was that the brakes and accelerator doesn't feel as tight as when I bought it. It feels like they really loosen up, it went from the brakes being a hard stop till it being a light stop and the same goes with the accelerator.
Also there is no brake lights, or other lights on when I drive my car, if there was problem with something wouldn't the lights stay on when I'm driving? (lights=Problem Icons in the dash). I got three warranties on it so I'm not worry about the money unless they pull some shit and say it won't cover it.
Almost forgot the brakes was making noise a couple days and I made appointment at the dealership to check it out but it stopped making the squeaking noises when I stop. The guy said it was probably rust on the rotators and that caused the noise and that the noised stopped because the rust was off, so I cancel my appointment.

It's water out of the weep holes of the exhaust. Easiest fix is to get rid o that ugly stock exhaust. Problem solved!

+1, The mufflers have small holes in them to allow water to drain out, water gets in there form condensation from the temperature change when you turn off the car, it's normal.

Everything you described sounds normal.

I would just like to add that with all of these different issues that you are having getting it checked at the dealership would be a good idea. Just making sure that there isn't anything actually anything wrong with the vehicle between the difference in the feel for the brake and accelorator pedals. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

yea weep holes in mufflers get plugged all the time. I runs wire up through them every time I wash the car(once a week) going to drill them out a little larger this spring so they do not plug up so easy.Ditto on the brake noises ,common problem.Driver and don't worry about all the intermittent noises unless you hear something that really stands out.Brake noise, injector noise, heater blower moan whine and noise, rotor rust from moisture & setting,popping in front end when going over uneven surface's ,solenoid's clicking in the rear fuel tank area, switches in the dash engaging and disengaging (and let's see what did I leave out) are all part of the camaro experience.You will learn to ignore these nuances and just enjoy driving your car eventually.

If there is a problem with your charging system you will get an error code that reads something like service charging system. When the battery gets really low there is another error message that reads something like Low Battery followed by warning will robinson. The first two are really built into the 5th Gen.
