ZL1 exhaust leak?
I noticed a puddle of water is what it looks like from the exhaust on the left side. Is this normal? I looked underneath and noticed a piece of tape on the exhaust can to cover it up.
Interesting, never really noticed until now. |

I had those on my SS with a Corsa exhaust. I think once the exhaust system heats up the leaking will stop.

Part of the exhaust is unburnt fuel which the is coverted to water, mine leaks out of the mufflers until it heated up

Could be bad muffler bearings.

it's normal, water is a byproduct of combustion

100% normal. As other have said, once heated it evaporates, until heated you will get some water leaking out.
