Hahaha I asked the same thing a while back. Glad im not the only one who saw that and said “man…that doesn’t look right”

i was told that its normal condensation from your exhaust that is dripping out of the little hole thats right where that smudge starts.

normal and nothing to worry about

completely normal. most mufflers have holes to let water drain out

OMG! Hurry, that is the muffler bearing oil running out!

Definitely normal, nothing at all to concern yourself over.

Cars and trucks have been doing that for over 60 years.
Weep hole.

Leak? Hmmm, you want water to stay in there?

Byproducts of combustion include H2O and CO which the cat converts to CO2. So you get water vapor and CO2. The water vapor condenses on the cooler parts of the exhaust.

My f150 had weep holes on the muffler. Probably designed to keep the muffler from rusting out
