Does this occur mostly after short trips when the car hasn’t really warmed up? It probably isn’t a big deal but might be a small rust hole or manufacturing defect. Remember that if combustion is complete, you get carbon dioxide and water. The water will come out as vapor (steam) when hot but if the car isn’t warmed up, you will get lots of condensation. That also causes rust and may be why there is a small hole in your muffler. ---

That pin hole was put there to drain the condensation from the muffler.
