Hey guys,

I drive a 2016 Supercrew XLT 5.0 V8 FX4 with about 33,000mi. This morning, I found a black stain running down the driveway. It seems to be from the passenger side, between the cab and bed area based on location as to how I park.

The only thing that even remotely looks like that under the truck is this guy. I'm not even remotely a truck mechanic guy, but it looks like an exhaust leak? If so, is this an easy fix for Ford? Truck is going on quite a road trip next week, so wanted it to be ready.

(I think the images are posted)

Thanks for the help.

It's fine, just moisture draining out the exhaust. there are tiny holes in the muffler, for that reason.

Thanks, it just seems odd that after 33k miles, I've never seen such a thing from it.

I've got the same thing in my garage. Every time I start my truck and let it warm up, the condensation in the exhaust creates a puddle under the truck near the the muffler or the resonator.
