My car, after being used, drips water out of the exhaust. Its at the back of the back box (?).
All thats happened to it is when it was still under warranty the exhaust rattled, so they spun it round - i think!
Is this bad or not? cant be arsed/ afford it

Yes mate,  .
If its only water, then its simply condensation in your exhaust. May have started happening recently due to the humid weather were getting. Basically all it is, is water condensing on the cooling exhaust when you switch off, and when you start up agin itall flows out the end of the exhaust . Should only do it for the first few minutes your driving along.
If it was fiuel it would be igniting nearer the manifold end, and giving you some nice flames out the tailpipe .

Do you do lots of short journeys ? (in the car that is)
If so engine may not be getting up to temp andgetting rid of condensation. With crapper oils and older engines this can lead to 'mayonnaise' which is basically oil getting contaminated with water.
