Question Dirty black liquid coming out of my exhaust?

Hey guys, my car is running ridiculously rich and it stinks, and this is what comes out of my exhaust after starting it and letting it run for 5 minutes. I'm guessing this is not normal?! I can't really tell what it is either? Could it just be condensation, but just black from the sooted up exhaust?....

Perhaps it should cut down to say 40 a day?

That's not normal. As above, pull the error codes ASAP.

Get it out for a good drive to get the exhaust hot too the tip. This will dry it out, if you then get this again it points to a bigger issue.
