Default Exhaust Leak

Listen, I'm no mechanic at all. So any help from those more mechanically knowledgeable is greatly appreciated. I was out butting some LED bulbs in the truck today and noticed a wet spot under the truck. It seems part of my exhaust is leaking water? Please see the images. When i start the truck, it sprays out even worse. Do i need to take it to the dealer?

Again, Any help is MUCH appreciated!

I think that's normal. That's why there's a hole there to let it out. Ecoboosts produce quite a bit of "soot" at the tail pipe and other exhaust components

Is there a hole there? It looks to be forward facing when if it were a designated hole it would face rearward. Wait and see what other responses you get.

Normal. If the weep hole was not there, the muffler would rot out in short order.

No need to worry, it's designed that way, there is 2 or 3 of these weep holes throughout the length of the exhaust to help with getting rid of water.

I have a water drip on a pipe towards the front as you can see the drip.

I am getting this same drip from what appears to be the same clamp that you have pictured. Is everyone in consensus that this is normal? should that pipe joint be clamped better?

No worries, that's how it's designed.
