cant see the vid at the mo, but is it black or blue? Black will be fuel on the over run, blue may be valve stem seals worn?

By the looks of it I think its just unburnt fuel. I notice that sometimes it spits a flame out too. So I personally wouldnt be worried but maybe get a rolling road set up and check the fuel air mixture etc to see if it is running rich a in the long run this isnt what you want as it has detremental effects on the engine
