Default wet exhaust

hey I have noticed for a few weeks now that my truck has water in the exhaust ive split the pipe between the cat and muffler and dumped alot of water but every day theres more in there so far it looks like its rusting out every thing in my exhaust. my muffler is shot because of it and my truck will smoke for hours until that water is all gone.
ive also notice around lots of the welds on the exhaust theres little black squiggly lines.

any ideas ????

wet exhaust on start up is common but after 5 minetes it should not drip water at all! or you have a blowen head gasket

That's just condensation then. Nothing to worry about really. Might run some dry gas thru the tank though, just to reduce that possibility.

^^^+1 Where we live adds to the problem as well, higher moisture content in the air.
