Exhaust Discharge..
I started my 300SDL up today, dead cold. I was idling it for a while then revved it good a few times to "clear its throat".. got out of the car, looked beind and there is a spray of oil-coated chunks of carbon say 10" long by 5" wide, thats the best way I can describe it. I noticed it once before, didn't think much of it.
I saw this once on a 420SEL that had a totally screwed engine, you would revv it and black raw oil would come out of the tailpipe. I dont use much oil, maybe 1/qt every 3k miles.. what is this? If it means anything, I just replaced the center muffler about 1000 miles ago, not sure if it did it before then.

Probably normal. Diesel fuel doesn't burn very well in a cold engine, and there is always some soot, so you get droplets of unburned fuel, droplets of water from condensation, and soot blowing out on startup.
