I often have a watery, black sooty spot underneath my R coupe and I'm wondering if everyone else has the same problem? My local service manager says it's from a bleed hole in the exhaust that is meant to drain moisture that forms in the exhaust system from condensation. Has anyone else heard this or another explanation? I only have 1200 miles on my car; not sure if this will stop as I break her in or if this is a "feature" that I'm going to have to live with.

 

Normal. All those crackles and pops is burnt fuel, just condenses and drains.

 

Yep. Got the same thing.

 

Thanks,guys! Good to know it's normal.

 

All my cars with weep holes do this
