Was working in my garage yesterday and noticed black splatter behind my driver side exhaust - almost looks like it shot out and spray the floor and the work out machine behind it. It sprayed but didn't leak directly underneath - so not sure what it could be.
It didn't seem oily, but rather like black soot. Anyone encounter this before? I installed FS bypass pipes but have driven it a handful of times and didn't see anything before.
Should I be worried about the turbo? Anything I can check?

If you have condensation in your exhaust and start up the car, it can spray some black water out upon startup.

You don't need to monitor it, it's totally normal. It's the soot from combustion being picked up by condensation/water in the exhaust and being blown out by the exhaust. You may want to shield the work out equipment from the spray because you aren't going to stop it from happening.
