Probably. It's either mud or rust or something else that isn't good in any way.

Or at least I can't think of any way that it's a good thing.

You really need to learn what you are talking about prior to making comments of this sort. It is normal for stuff to be dripping out of the exhaust, heck even on many full sized autos there is stuff dripping (mostly condensation) from the exhaust.

On these cars, whatever does not get completely burned up during the combustion cycle of the engine ends up coming out of the exhaust. Most of the time it is oil mixed with unburnt fuel. Most of the time it is brownish in color or some other color other than that of the fuel you put in. Think about it...it is exhaust...it is dirty...

At any rate, everyone else here seems to be on the right track.

Cupooterluvr, you need to learn a bit more about this hobby and the things that make it go prior to chiming in with what amounts to "omigosh...something is wrong!"

Sorry. You're absolutely right. :goodpost:

Was that really necessary?

You're right, though. I don't know anything about this stuff. But I do my best to help people out to the best of my knowledge, as long as what I say can't hurt anything if I'm wrong. I forgot to take into account the fact that the oil in nitromethane doesn't burn in the engine, and can condense in the exhaust.:D

Actually, yes it was. You continue to spout off in threads with the best of intentions but with incorrect information. If it is not corrected and your actions are not adjusted, then you could end up causing more problems than you solve. If you do not know for certain what the answer is or have no positive input to make, then refrain from doing so. You will save me a lot of work, cleaning up after you, and save the rest of the people who read your errant responses the trouble of having to troubleshoot more problems.

Believe me...I could easily post a response in each and every thread I read, but I do not. I only respond where I can help or where I find something very interesting or funny. In this case, I was compelled to respond by my job as a site moderator because your post was reported by another member.

^I wanted to say the same thing but figured it would come sooner or later. I dont think a dude who posted about how hes new to the hobby like a week ago or a dude who is having his own problems, should be giving ANYone tips. Get some time under your belt and then share what ya learned.

Sorry when I get like that. I'm way too competitive by nature. It gets me in trouble sometimes. When I do get in trouble, I'll usually say something stupid that gets me into more trouble. I never learn.

Then do us all a favor and stop looking at this site as some kind of competition. We are all in a hobby and all trying to help and learn from each other. Every time you post something useless in order to somehow further your own ends (whatever they might be and in whatever competition you feel you are in), you create a need for others to work harder to undo anything you have done.

Like I said, if you know for a fact that your post is the right answer to the problem at hand or have some kind of means to back up what you say, then post away...otherwise, just read, learn, and move on. Or...try conducting some research with the search feature or Google and then provide the correct answer that you find.
