Check and see if its still there, and not just a black spot.

If its still there, does it feel like water??

Moisture is biult up in the exhaust, it always finds the seams of the ex. pipe and leaks out. The blackness is caused by the "soot" in the ex. pipe.

No biggie, nothing is wrong.....unless you fell it and its oil...then check back in.

Sounds normal to me. The water is just moisture built up in the exhaust. The black is carbon in the exhaust that the water flushed out. Short trips can make the moisture build up quickly.
