It’s water, the Hpcorse is fitted with a small cat which converts exhaust gas to water.

 

They sell an optional container if you want to bag it for desert crossings.

HpCorse can generates water, but if you run Arrow for example it starts dripping orange juice, that-s why there are different aftermarket exhaust available. 

But to be serious, you can use a piece of plumber tape to seal it off so it does not leak. Hp cans are made 100% of steel and titanium  and some part of  water so it must not leak out

I think HP corse also does a flavoured version..

 

Probably best if the OP does a taste test and reports back.

All internal combustion engines create water, all.  Part of the process.  When the engine/exhaust gets hot enough it is turned to steam before it exists the exhaust pipe, so you only can see water coming out of a cold system.  Like a sunrise, you can only see it at certain times. 

 

Fire up an older vehicle without a cat or multiple mufflers and you will see water.  New emission controls just happen to stop the water from exiting so they are not noticed by "newer" people.

 

This is why exhaust are made of SS or better material, so they last longer before rusting out. 

 

It turned into a roast quickly because you posted, for all to see, your absence of knowledge.  One does not know what they don't know.  It's all good, and part of the process of living and learning.

This post was more of a “how do i fix this leak” rather than me not knowing that it obviously is water. Although, i did not know that that is how it is created, thanks!

Why fix it, better out than stuck in there rusting something.  It's probably just condensation, mufflers commonly fill up with water overnight.
