Default Hmmmm.....

Is it really oily or does it just seem like it? It could just be condensation mixing with a little carbon build up in the exhaust. If so it's no big deal. If it is indeed oil it could be a bad seal in the turbo. Do you get any smoke or anything????

if youve washed your car lately it could just be some water that got deep in the exhaust
