Exhaust dirtiness expectations

[ConspicuousConsumption]

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 had crust like that on the exhaust tips of any vehicle I've ever owned regarless of mileage.

checked my J&L oil separator. I've only had it installed for maybe a couple thousand miles, not long at all. I had about 3/4 of an ounce in there.

Do you have weep holes on your muffler?

No. Thermal 2.5”. Do you think adding them would help?

Who knows but a lot of sooty water can accumulate in the mufflers.
