Default Exhuast leak and moisture

Have a small exhuast leak I can hear under my truck and found it on the exhuast driver side rite where the y pipe turns a 90 degree angle towards the passenger side. Anybody notice this on there's? I put a wrench on the clamp but it's right so any quick fixes?
Also notice a lot of moisture/water dripping from most of the exhuast connections. And when I crank the truck on a cold start it looks like a mosquito truck for a minute.
This is a 3.5 Ecoboost. Anybody else notice this stuff?

Take it to the dealer and they will fix the leak, it's that easy!

Sounds like you are doing short drives without enough time to burn off condensation in the exhaust.

Defective pipe
Clamp installed in wrong place
Poor original fitting resulting in bent pipe inside joint
Pipe not fully inserted

Its an exhaust joint so it can't be too complicated.

It's all discussed in the following thread.

Looks like all engines (2.7, 3.5, 5.0) have experienced this.
