Topic: Slip on exhaust leaking fluid???

[manjisann]

I have a cb500 four that I just put a Mac 4 into 2 exhaust on. It was a slip on, and I know there is a little exhaust leaking out of the joints, but on cylinder number 2 there is some fluid leaking. I put my finger in it (after it cooled a bit) and there is no chemical smell. Is this just water or some sort of condensation?  Should I be worried about this? Also, do I need to seal these joints?  If so, what do you suggest? 

Thanks all

It's just condensation.....you know, the stuff that rusts exhaust pipes through from the inside out.

Ok, thats what I thought, but I would have hated to find out it was actually uncombusted gas and have my foot catch of fire   Thanks for the fast reply, off to get the saftey and the liscensing!!!!
