Black tar like substance coming from my RS

Anyone else have this on their garage floor? I think its road tar , not engine oil caus its so thick. It does seem to be coming from the front axle and a little near the rear axel too. thanks

Heat from the diffs. rises onto the undercoating and melts it a little and it can drip...nobig deal if this is what it is.

Could be the factory undercoating.

feel like candle wax? i didn't start getting it until the test pipe went in. I assume it is the undercoat.

ya its weird how Mitsu did theirs, it never hardens... well my 05 and my friend 05 never did. But on all my previous Honda's they had the same undercoating but it was def Hard tar/rubber material. Evo's is all soft and mushy like its not dry at all times kinda weird and thats why it freaking comes off so easy
