Condensation is a common occurance in all vehicle exhausts. Your muffler is leaking in the seam which indicates that it may need replacement. Condensation will then be seen leaking form the tailpipe only. Generally, the heat of a warm car dries up this condensation. Short runs do not allow the car to fully warm up. Excessive short runs causes abnormal condensation buildup. Water inside your muffler will eventually rust it and thios is most likely why you see a leak in the seam in the first place.

06 wrangler leaks on drivers side floor when it rains

I had the same problem, but on the passenger side. This may help. Look on the inside under the door for a seam where the two body panels meet. The seam should be tight, but mine had a good size gap and the water was coming in there. I took a tube of caulk and kept squeezing it in until it came out. No more leaks and I used to get a lake on the floor.

Small leak in a 98 jeep grand cherokee near the bottom pulley on front of engine..what is it?

If its leaking coolant, likely it is coming from the water pump above the lower pulley and running down to there. Look carefully and use a light.
If leak is oil, the pulley seal is leaking.

96 grande cherokee 6cyl. replaced o2 sensor and code still shows bad sensor so changed out again thinkjhg it was faulty but code still shows bad sensor.Drove for while and back fires to the point were...

Sounds more like an ignition misfire. Sometimes also, an exhaust leak in the pipe above the sensor can add enough air to cause the mixture in the pipe to ignite and cause the same problem. The first "weak point" in the exhaust is the muffler which is why it blows it up. Cutting out the cat will not solve this.

Muffler

whenever air is compressed, as inside your cylinders, water is squeezed out of the air and does not have time to evaporate back into the air until either it gets past the exhaust completely (you see tailpipes steaming on cold mornings) or if the exhaust system has reached sufficient temperature and actually allows the water to "steam" out of the system at an earlier location in the system, then yopu don't see steam.. Many exhaust systems are ruined quickly when drivers take short trips only and not long enough to reach high exhaust temperature. You can always tell, by looking at tailpipes on cold mornings, which drivers have just started out and which have been traveling a long distance because of the steam issue.
