Well... I started my car today... seemed normal...then when I looked at the back seemed like my car was spitting out oil or something out of the exhaust...it wasn't as thick as oil but it was black... think... maybe it's just the carbon from the muffler and the moisture together that made it like that..... I don't know... you guys have any ideas??? it was dripping from the exhaust.... not constant... but it still dripped... Thanks in advance.... Mike

I think you have answered your own question.
It's not uncommon and more so on cold humid mornings. Take it out and give it a drive, the soot will eventually burn off and it will be like everyone else dripping water.
