Bad photos, but you get the idea of what I mean. Why is this?

Edit: My mate reckons it's normal, and it's the very reason some shops do not allow reverse-parking close to the shop due to diesels spraying crap like this everywhere. I've personally never seen it before, or knew about it.

I have a 2011 and I also asked the same question. I have a 3" Taipan exhaust so she splatters out quite a lot.
I was told is normal for diesels and is just condensation built up in the exhaust being expelled with carbon. And should be nothing to worry about.

yeah mine does it a fair bit, 3" straight through exhaust 4.2!

Holy crap and here I'm thinking mine is bad. LOL

Just turned the car on before and gave it a few revs after start up, walked around to open the rear door and nearly went ass over head by slipping on the crap.
Today there was a crapload of it, it was actually flowing down my driveway. Maybe cause I revved it a tad after star-up and mixed with condensation. Who knows.

@ Hodge yours is fine HEY,
That's why you cant reverse in at Motels as well

Is that a standard plug socket :what:

Mine does the same. Seemed to be more noticeable after I had a chip and exhaust kit fitted though ?
