[QUOTE="postalbunny, post: 9620579, member: 83740"] +1, learned my lesson... had my car checked out by a dealer only to find a stuck exhaust valve later with a compression/leakdown test. Always have the car checked out by a mechanic before you buy it. On the other hand, if the intercooler is empty and water is coming out the exhaust hopefully you just have a leaking intercooler, and the fluid is leaking into the intake and getting into the engine that way... being pumped out the exhaust. Time to take it to a good mechanic and start t/s, if you bought it "as is" then it's now your problem unless you can prove the previous owner knew about it. Which will be hard..., if you can prove it was emptied when he had you test drive it etc... but that doesn't necessarily prove he knew about it either. He may have just been retarded. You're best bet is to have it diagnosed, fixed.. then call the previous owner while recording the conversation and try to get him to fess up, or at lest lie enough to give you 'more likely than not" evidence for small claims.
