Jus wanted to make sure of something, what it is ive noticed when warming up the dt i put my hand close to the end of the silencer to ruffly indicate how warm it is and after my hand gets slightly moist, is this standard when putting your hand close to the silencer??

Its bugging me now after some mate said he had noticed it

Cheers in advance

thatll be oily residue m8 and how can u tell if the engine is warm by doing that ?? a better way would be to touch the coolant pipe that goes to the bottom of the rad wen thats warm u know the thermostat is open to start cooling that beast down

IF ITS THE NEWER DTS,they have a cat in the pipe, if u look at cars driving down the road theres water dribling out the zorst, its the chemical reaction from the cat it makes water

but mostly its oily residue more so if the mixtures not right
