1st Time water out of drivers side exhaust
I don’t drive it a lot - 1 x every 2 weeks or so. Had it in the shop overnight for an interior part repair. Drove it all day then home.
Came outside about 20 minutes after getting and saw this -
no lights etc in the cockpit - nothing abnormal - smelled it after I parked it.

There is a similar post in the 996 forum: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...exhaust-3.html
I believe the conclusion was a cracked coolant reservoir that leaked down on the exhaust pipe, making it look like it was coming out of the exhaust.
For peace of mind i'd open the oil cap to check you don't have any frothy milky residue in there. That would not be fun.
Good luck and keep us posted.

That’s a coolant leak. I had the same experience when my expansion tank began to develop a crack. About $800 fixed.

When you’re looking at the coolant tank in the engine bay, look at the right side toward the end, closer to the firewall. That’s where my fracture developed and it seems to be the common failure area.
