Default Does this look like exhaust leak

Hi Everyone,
I saw dark drops on the floor at the back where the park. Does this look like a leak?

This has been discussed many times before and it is normal and not a problem.
It is simply water - condensation - dripping out of the exhaust pipe where it is meant to and designed to drip from, as a way of getting rid of the water that would otherwise build up in the exhaust pipes and cause problems.
It is blackish purely because of exhaust soot, again normal and nothing to worry about.

Don't let the engine warm up while stationary...DRIVE IT!
Driving also minimizes the black soot on the exhaust tips.

(Take it easy for the first few miles, of course)
