What you are seeing is the fuel that is not being burned in the cylinders because the temperature is not hot enough to ignite all the fuel. This is because diesel fuel is ignited in the engine by heat from compression.

As others have alluded to this is because the engine is not working hard enough (they don’t need to be run wide open, but they do need a load on them) to get the combustion chamber warm enough to completely burn the fuel.

Really, idling an engine (gas or diesel) with very little or no load on it is hard on it. Gassers just don’t spew out the unburned fuel in a form of slobber, they just carbon up things in the head and manifold.
