Hi there -

brand new Maverick owner here..new to me I should add. Have had my 2003 Maverick for a few days now and love it - only thing is and I hope someone can help me out here...I've noticed a pin prick hole in the exhaust system, not near the muffler end which is squirting out a fair bit of water with the engine turning over - not sure if this is normal and is a way of releasing some condensation? Any advice on my first day would be very welcome!

hello i think you may have the longest user name on the site!

what Mav do you have petrol or diesel? Most users on here add the details in their signature to make it easier to get quick answers.

welcome to the club!

hi and welcome!

water out the exhaust...could be condensation due to short trips etc, could be water in the fuel (bad), could be fuel not water (?)

do you get any smoke with this dripping water, and is it doing it all the time? might be an idea to take a short video clip and post it??
