Watery black stuff coming out of exhaust
Like the title says. Watery black stuff coming out of exhaust. Tailpipe. Smells like gas/oil mix. Anyone kno what it is and what causes ot and how to fix it?

H2O is a normal by-product of combustion. The oil/gas means you have incomplete combustion.
Start with a basic tune-up and use a can of SeaFoam per the instructions on the label.

He's messing with you. Just some troll, possibly crazy on the liquor. If the tuneup doesn't work you'll need to find out why so much fuel is being dumped in and/or why it isn't burning. Until the tuneup gear is replaced anything would be just guessing. If the tune up doesnt help try making a thread in OEM Tech. Very knowledgable people read it quite frequently.
