Basically as the title says. Theres water dripping from the exhaust. I haven't started the car for a week due to being away on holiday. the cars been stored in the garage the whole time so it's been dry. Theres no mayo under the oil cap, i'm pretty sure the coolant is where it always has been but i can't see as theres not enough light out.

anyone?

it's fine - sign of a good engine (unless it's gushing out!)

Don't worry about it

nothing to worry about mate !
condensation from the heat as engine just got running, this is the reason your exhaust rusts out if you only make short journeys with your car as it settles in the back box before the heat dries it out !

Water is one of the products of combustion. It's fine.
