2012 Ninja 250 Exhaust Question

I just found this "hole" at the bottom of the pipe and the exhaust is coming out from there. Is this a problem? Is it an easy fix?

I'm not around mine to compare but it's probably to drain rain water. I could be wrong.

Just a drain; leave it as is.

yes exhaust gas will come out anywhere thats not air-tight.

I doubt its rust, probably just colour from the exhaust gas.

If it is rust any high temp paint will stop it from rusting. Just please don't spray it inside the cannister, it might damage the cat.
