Exhaust dirtiness expectations

My right side exhaust tips get really dirty very quickly, like after 100 miles or something, and the drivers side definitely takes longer. The exhaust has a pretty fume-y smell to it as well, way more compared to my 2015 Mustang GT. Is this normal or am I looking at an oil leak kind of problem? I don't see any smoke or visible oil leak anywhere.

JMO, looks like an oil and/or unburned fuel issue to me.. I don't believe I've ever has crust like that on the exhaust tips of any vehicle I've ever owned regarless of mileage.
