Don't worry about the drops of moisture. If you examine it closely, you will discover it is just water -a natural product of combustion. Make sure the smell is coming from the exhaust and not under hood. Often the valve cover gasket or something similar will slowly drip oil on the exhaust manifold making a bit of a stench. If it is a burning oil smell and coming from the exhaust then you might want to be a little concerned. Start the car and have someone look at the exhaust to see if it puts out a bit of smoke. Next have someone follow you as you coast in gear down a long hill and see if it puts out a puff of smoke when you give it gas again. Both of these indicate worn vlave guides/seals which isn't uncommon. You can also take it too a shop and have them perform a wet/dry compression test and leak down test. This will give you a very good idea of the condition of the pistons rings and the cause of your smokey exhaust. Let us know how it goes.
