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

If it tastes of coolant or is still happening after about twenty minutes then you have issues

Just condensation, nothing to worry about.

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

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!

Ron.
