That's awful! Your engine must be knackered!
Unless it's a diesel, in which case it's probably fine, but you might want to invest in expensive diesel every third tank.

Looks normal to me, give any 2 1/4 some welly and it will push out some black smoke. How long did it take to build up that stain ?
it was this time last year when I sprayed it grey, but iirc that part of the body was pretty black after about about 3 months

Could it be the redex causing the stain/smoke?
Use good fuel for a few tanks to see if it goes.

Well then I would say it is OK. Old landy 2 1/4 engines do not have modern stuff like EGR [ exhaust gas recirculation ] or particulate filters. the most you get on later ones is crankcase gas recirculation. Put an extension on the pipe past the body a couple of inches or angled for down .
