Probably condensation of water vapor in the exhaust. This is probably
entirely normal - especially so if the unit is high efficiency
and the flue is plastic pipe.

Call the installer and ask.

I thought that the condensed water vapour was supposed to drain via the two drainage pipes from the boiler and not the flue?
