110,000km had oil change at 107,000 noticing a bit more smoke out of my exhaust when idling within the past couple days. I checked my engine and found no leaks or oil spots but i did notice a tiny drip coming from underneath my exhaust, i checked it out it had no distinct smell to it. i dont have an a/c. should i assume its water or some sort of condensation?

 

Where is the drip under the exhaust? up front, may be AC condensation, near the muffler may be muffler condensations (there is a tiny hole to let the water out) neither should cause smoke.

If you have smoke out the tailpipe; is it bluish? or white? does it smell like fuel or burnt oil? Start with changing the PCV valve. inspect your spark plugs for deposits. Check your coolant for oil and your oil for coolant.

Post up what you find... good luck!

 

Rub a bit between your fingers, is it oily? Water condensation is black or dark grey but it still rubs like water. Sounds like condensation , if enough oil was coming out the tailpipe to drip you couldn't see the JK for the smoke surrounding it....
