Default EGR? HELP!!! Gas coming out of muffler!

So I came home during lunch today and when I climbed back in to go to school I noticed underneath the truck there was a puddle of gas dripping off my muffler!

I haven't looked for cracks or anything yet but I am certain this muffler is probably just sh*tted out on me, as currently it is beat to hell and wired up any how.

Are there any good complete exhaust systems for the 4.9l or should I just get it done my self with a flowmaster super 44?

OR is there something wrong with my EGR?

thanks

There shouldn't be raw gas in your exhaust system!!

It was actually kinda diluted, but theres no way its condensation, there was a legitimate thin puddle...

Nope everything is running, feeling, smelling and looking normal (except for the sight of the puddle...)

What it could be is condensation and a little bit of un burnt fuel that built up over time and was sitting in your muffler and the muffler finally cracked or rusted through and let it out.
