Black watery stuff is condensation from a cold engine and exhaust when you first fire it up. It's picking up carbon from the exhaust as it migrates down the pipe. It'll go away once you've got some heat in 'er.

Would that make it run crappy when it gets hot it only runs crap when its hot. It smells like rusty water when it gets hot. theres no water leaks and the temp is good theres some black smoke and flames. One if the gasket on the downpipie needs replacing mabey thats the cause of the spluttering low down in the revs

"theres some black smoke and flames"
Sounds like a line from "Sink the Bismarck" but I am unable to recall the actor.! :whistle:

Check inside the airbox again to see if the oil has stopped coming into it. If it has then that could be the why it smoked a bit.
Did you check the fuel system yet ?
