Assuming the auto is not driven frequently, the exhaust system is never allowed to heat up sufficiently to evaporate the moisture that naturally builds up. Then, when it is driven, the moisture that accumulates in the exhaust system is pushed out as steam or steam and drops of water. If that is the case you can make a point of operating the car more frequently for longer distances and the moisture should more readily burn off.
