Exhaust fluid

I haven't looked at anything on the truck yet
when I noticed the dripping it was getting dark.

I've never seen this before., the truck has been sitting for a few days. Today I fired it up , moved it 40 feet shut it off, a few hours later I did the same in reverse.

I'm not sure if its condensation and a bit of oil.
I normally drive it on long trips pulling a trailer, it might normally burn all the condensation off.

all the liquid on the floor and the rag is from the tip.

my buddy said the mbrp muffler might need a drain hole?

Mine does the same thing when it's cold out and I believe it's just soot, but my drips look more black.

Might just be condensation.

Has the coolant level in the degas bottle changed at all? When my EGR cooler went I had some coolant coming out of the exhaust, but a lowered degas bottle level was also apparent.

I haven't looked at the truck yet. I've been driving another truck. I might have time to check it out tomorrow.
I was looking for advice before I ripped into it

I think the old girl still has a clean bill of health. It must just be condensation and a bit of rust. I took it out yesterday for the day. No puddles under it today.
