Alright so its about 43 degrees to 27 degrees where I live with 20 to 50 % humidity

I have what looks like coolant but more like condensation, dripping from the gaskets that butt the dp to the cat and the cat to the catback but small puddles on cold start emerge after its idling. I had a coolant leak yesterday and i Fixed the hose that was the problem but I heard a pop last night when the car started getting hot, filled it back with water and I was only 1/2 mile from home. but it drives and has a very very slight miss at idle. I have checked my oil and its not milky my coolant is still the color it was when I put it in. anyway. I am going to check the fluid of what it consists of.

But when its idling it has a little bit of steam coming out of the exhaust. maybe 6 " out the pipe, when i give it a little gas it just goes away until it goes back to idle rpm but I think I might just be a bit over concerned.

Get a kit at the parts store that checks your coolant for co

I would pressure check the cooling system you can have head gasket failure into the combustion chamber without intermix to oil. Or you can have a leak in the turbo but that it heavy casting to wear through unless the CHRA has cracked. You sure its not sinple condensation? Maybe drop the testpipe too to see better what it looks, and smells like.
