Oil leak or worse?
 
Today i was letting my buddy here my cat-back camaro style exhaust, and after i was done revving i got out and noticed a little drippage from the pipes. so i wiped it with my finger and it was jetblack burnt oil with a little water in it...i dont know what this would be.. i just ran seafoam through it and i run 92 octane and do regular maintenance.
Im just about due for an oil change also
any ideas?

I'm assuming this is coming out of the exhaust tail pipes?
If so, pretty normal for a 20 year old car. Even newer cars will have it happen. Especially when revving out the engine a bit. If you're not getting big blue clouds of smoke, I wouldn't worry.:)

Was the engine at normal operating temp ,or was it a 1st time start up of the day? Condensation will form in the muffler because it is so far back in the system.
