2019 Ram Rebel Muffler Leaking Fluid

[evanxrs]

Started up my truck today to move it out of the driveway a noticed fluid under. Looking under looks like fluid from the Muffler.
Is this normal? What would cause this? Truck only has 55000km on it.

Condensation, perfectly normal. Drive it more often for linger distances to "burn" it off

It's normal to have condensation in your exhaust, but you shouldn't have a hole in your muffler. The exhaust should be sealed from the engine to the exit.

Don't the muffler and the resonators all have "weep" holes in them to help with condensation build up?

Yep, my bad. I thought only the resonators had weep holes (forgot to say that previously), but I just checked mine, and it has the same hole up front.

Thanks. Just wanted to make sure this was normal.
Weather is cold at night like -2 celcius but goes up to +18 C during the day.

Once you let the muffler fluid out the truck will never be the same. And FYI, blinker fluid and muffler fluid are not compatible so do not mix them.

Hopefully it doesn't get too low or your muffler bearings will seize

What do you mean by "Hopefully it does not get too low"?

Check the dipstick.
If it gets too low, you can lose the muffler bearings. It'll sound like an angry bees nest made a baby with a lawnmower.

The engine oil dipstick?

Ignore them. They're messing with you.

 

[Scram1500]

Okay, maybe a little messing around. But don't ignore this....

Mechanical trolling, examples include blinker fluid and muffler bearings. People for generations have sent their friends and family to auto parts stores looking for these make believe items.

Don't forget the radiator cap for air cooled engines.

'Course its also fun to tell the green counter guy you needs parts for an '83 vette.

Kind of like the board stretcher in carpentry.
