    Found this leak underneath my car. Not the first time.
    It was parked for a few days.

    wasn’t oily, more chalky after drying. I have no idea what it is.

    2017 Lusso V12. 10k miles on the clock

    Exhaust ash. Off the exhaust pipes. Saw it on my Cali years ago. Not an issue. Does it line up with your exhaust pipes?

    That makes sense. Yes it aligns up with my exhaust perfectly

    I just had a FI system put on too.

    will this eventually go away or is there something I need to do to fix it?

    It's normal, made worse if the moisture in the air content is high.

    If assembled with exhaust glue it usually isn’t an issue until the glue eventually becomes porous. I’ve got the same thing with my 812 after doing an Xpipe

    So I’ve had the exhaust now for a little over a month and I’m still getting exhaust ash on a daily basis. Does it eventually go away or do I need to have the exhaust looked at?

    It shouldn’t go away until the leak is sealed

    Completely normal due to moisture in the exhaust. If it just sat in the low spot of the system it would accelerate corrosion.
