Leaking muffler?

Probably a stupid question.
Is the muffler leaking?
I understand that there is condensation build up and that water from the exhaust tip is normal to see but I don’t expect to see moisture from that part (see arrow)
Anyone is seeing the same thing?

Thank you

Interesting you being this up. When I recently removed my muffler and did a muffler delete I was driving home and kept hearing slushing water from the muffler so I stopped to check and make sure it wasn’t making a complete mess in the cargo area but it wasn’t coming out, in fact it stays in there and needs to be angled to dump the water out. What’s odd is at the time I hadn’t washed my car in over a week so I’m led to assume that it’s been in there for a while whiteout a way to escape. I don’t thing there is a drain in this muffler and the design doesn’t really let the water escape, odd.

Perfectly normal. It is just condensation exiting the muffler. Most cars do this.
