A wet black(ish) substance coming out of the exhaust

[V_cirellio]

Hey chaps,

I haven't started my other car for over a month until today and when I did, I took a wonder around to the exhaust and there was this blackish watery substance on the ground. But when I dabbed my finger into it, the substance was clear and it also wasn't greasy or even smelt like oil. It wasn't smoking at all which made me think it couldn't be the piston rings. However, I do know that the rocker cover gasket needs replacing. But I am doubting the very little oil which is coming from there is finding it's way into the exhaust system.

It is on a Citroen Saxo 1400cc. I don't suppose any of lot know what the problem could be?

Thanks chaps,

Vincenzo

Just condensation in the exhaust system......

Ahh phew.. I was becoming rather concerned that it was something a lot more serious and being a student funds are limited.
