Leaky exhaust?

[johnbyron]

I have a 2019 JL Sport with the 3.6.
Today I started the car from cold and after a few minutes I noticed some water (or at least it looks like it) coming not only out of the exhaust pipe (which I would expect), but also from the exhaust itself. Is it just condensation, or is there a leak
Thank you!

You have a leaky muffler by design - nearly all mufflers have a weep hole.

My Wrangler has the stock exhaust, and it has staining like yours.

Thanks! This is my first Jeep and I wasn't sure where the hole was located ?

The products of combustion are Carbon Dioxide and Water. Mostly water, in fact. If not for the hole in the bottom, the muffler would have to be half full of water. No bueno.
