Is the inside of the tail pipe black? Exhaust is a carbon emission that also contains water vapor and when left at stand still turns from vapor to liquid. The liquid sits int he tail pipe with all the carbon deposit blackness and leaks when your car starts. You'll know if you head gasket goes becuase you'll smell burning anti-freeze and your car will run like *****.

If you can notice that black watery liquid is squirting out while reving it than thats really really bad. For it to shoot out of that blind spot into open view than something is wrong.

If the car is running at the proper temperature, the water should be vaporized before it exits the car.

It sounds like you just have some moisture built up in your exhaust system. This is normal after sitting for a while. Just drive it for an hour or so, to get the system nice and hot, then see if it still comes out.

LOL, that's condensation inside your piping. The reason it's black is because the carbon buildup inside your piping.
