Your 1st post says two leaks and your 8th post says three leaks. Make up your mind. You make yourself sound like a troll or someone who doesn't know quite how to bash their ford truck.

Stop and think a little more before you post and you'll sound more intelligent.

There is already rusting on the drive axle and rear gear box. That is sad for a 2 month old truck. I barely had rust on my 2002 Super Duty. They must be using cheaper metals for it to surface rust so quickly.
The exhaust is not going to rust. As others have told you it is normal. You need to relax and drive your truck.

This is the first truck that ever had this either high end tech or water under the truck. I had my SD for 11 years and the only time there was water under truck was during summer running AC. I am just trying to understand the trucks normal habits. My last truck didnt spit/sputter or have a loud thunk after starting, It would have been nice to either have dealer or owners manual to point these things out and make the owner aware of these NORMAL operating things. There is something to be said for just getting a simple V8. There are 3 water spots, 2 are always there and the third shows up from time to time, dont know why. Thanks Centex for the gear shift hint, hit the + and the gears showed up on my dash, real cool. I am not worried in the sense of problems as much as trying to come here and bounce questions to see if other guys have the same issues so i can classify it as Normal, call a dealer about any noise and thats there std answer. Having the 7 yr Prem Care warranty takes the worry away.

Can't remember the exact spec but I believe for every gallon of gas burned 1 liter of water is produced as by product and this is for all engines gasoline of course
