This is a noob forum, but seriously, make an effort to write the damn post properly.
When does it happen? During idle? Accelerating? Cold or warm? What does it smell like?

Black Smoke mean it is running rich, Liquid mean evaporated gas.

Wow ok calm down mate. I'm sorry.
Nah it's a civic ED. So far ive only checked it out when it's cold. Exhaust smells like crap and it splurts out black stuff. What's going on?

Well when its cold, it will usually just be the soot in the exhaust mixing with water in the exhaust to make slushy shit that spits out. I dont believe its very important.
Also, your catalytic converter usually gets rid of shitty smelling stuff from your exhaust, but it only works when the converter is at operating temperature, which takes a few minutes. So a lot of peoples exhausts will smell like shit when cold.
What it does when its warm, when you gun it etc is more important.

As above, just condensation in your exhaust pipe mixing with carbon deposits. Covered many times previously, have a search (and relax it's fine!).

If it doesn't resolve after a bit of driving and when the car is warm then PM me and I'll re-open this thread for you.
