EXHAUST PIPE: Small Water Splatters

Hello guys,

I have recently noticed in the mornings when the engine is cold and I first start and warm it up, that small splatters of water come out of the exhaust pipe. The exahust does not produce any smoke at any time and there is also no sign of oil.



I'd like to know whats wrong, because I dont think its supposed to be like that?

Also, can it be related to my Secondary Air Pump issue:

Thank you in advance,

That's normal; water condensed the night before as the exhaust cooled, it gets blown out.
