Potential daft question. Black exhaust fluid

Post by Jamie84 » Wed Feb 18, 2009 4:18 pm

Left the car ticking over today for 5 mins on the drive , came back to notice a thin oily black fluid spurting from the exhaust tail pipes ??

May be natural but I cant say I've noticed it before :?

Not massive amounts just small drips/spurts.

problem ?

thanks in advance.
