2013 Ford Explorer Sport
Hey all,
My 2013 Ford Explorer sport is leaking from the dual exhaust system. Each side of the pipe connecting into the muffler is leaking, and it looks like further up on the exhaust, the big metal box in the middle is also leaking. I have attached a picture with each spot that is leaking circled in red. Any info would be helpful about what it might be, and if it dangerous to be driving like this. Thanks again!

Welcome to the Forum Jimmy.:wave:
It is likely just water. Most mufflers have weep holes to allow water (condensation) to run out. This is most noticeable just after startup. You can also see water droplets coming out of the exhaust pipe then. If it continues after the vehicle has been driven, then it could be a damaged head gasket. If that is the case, then you should also notice white exhaust. Is your coolant level stable?

I would think that is the norm. Nothing to worry about :)
