OK. You are probably fine. Water will build in the exhaust system, this especialy after a short drive in cold weather. Later, when you restart, steam will emerge. It will be white.

This is rare and usually in cool humid nights.

It is why your exhaust pipes must be SS or they will corrode in about a year.

Drive it like you stole it. cause unless you bought new in 2004, you probably did.
