Water is a natural by product of combustion. Any car, when first 
started, will condense water in the cool muffler. Touch your fingers 
to the wetness and feel it between your fingers. Water has a 
completely different "feel" than gasoline. 

What you are probably seeing is perfectly normal water 
condensation.
