How'* your coolant level? Check it and get back to us. Could be the initial signs of a failed upper intake and/or failed lower intake gaskets.

BillBoost37 is a glorious beacon of light

there is one pipe coming off the engine to the back of the car then they split. which would mean...you should expect to see the same thing out both pipes.

Block off the one pipe and see if you get the same out the other pipe. If not..I'd think maybe a little moisture in the muffler and nothing to worry about.

Was the car warmed up and running good when you noticed this?
