Others have pretty much summed it up. I just want to add that it is the cold exhaust parts (manifold, muffler, etc) that are causing the water vapor (steam) to condense into droplets. The droplets pick up the soot in the muffler, and eventually the drops are blown out of the exhaust. After the exhaust parts warm up to above 212 degrees F, they no longer will condense the water vapor, and the condition you describe goes away. Perfectly normal to see water drops blowing out of an exhaust pipe as an engine warms up.
