hi guys, im a little concerned there was water driping out of my exhaust and what looked like steam that was comeing out, this was on a fairly cold engine, it seemed to stop after a while , is this normal, perhaps i should say car is running like a dream tick over is perfect has plenty of power. i hope she is okay. :'(

Perfectly normal as the engine warms up :y
If it tastes of coolant or is still happening after about twenty minutes then you have issues :y
-
Just condensation, nothing to worry about. :y

Omega's do steam a fair bit, in the 3.2 in a cold morning it's like I'm a steam train standing with a load of Class 47 diesels ;D

A petrol engine will produce over a gallon of water for every gallon of petrol, and when cold it condenses close to the exhaust; when hot, it remains invisible close to, but condenses a lot further away, by which time it has dispersed too widely for you to notice it.
Stop worrying!
