Default 19 Q7 water drips from exhaust

My 19 Q7 is dripping water underneath the exhaust pipe. I know condensation can cause dripping water. I took a picture of the area. You can see water on the pipe. My concern is the area that is darkened by smoke. It seems there is a little hole where the water is. Is this normal or I should have this checked. Car is three weeks old. Thanks.

Pretty sure this is a condensation weep hole... Prevents moisture from remaining in the muffler... If you idle the Q when its cold, you'll build up quite a bit of moisture as the exhaust water vapor will condensate on the cold metals...

Thank you so much. Does other cars have this hole as well. My old 3 series does not have this.
