Black liquid from exhaust

[PacoTheTaco]

I've noticed my tacoma leaks this black liquid from the exhaust. I've read that's it's due to moisture and carbon but just wanted to get some more info or if anyone else's tacoma does this, thanks !

How old is your exhaust? It looks like you have dual. Is it doing it out both sides?

Fuel soot and condensation. Tacomas run extremely rich from the factory.

Black soot may indicate a rich condition. If it starts running poorly have it looked at. If it's very minor, nothing to worry about.
Too rich and you won't pass smog check in California.

Tacomas run super rich. Mine is worse with the TRD tune.

There is no more sniffer test in CA so it will pass as long as there is no CEL.
