Where do you live and what are the temperatures like? A little water is supposed to drip out the exhaust.

If it's constantly white smoke and it's warm out, then it's most likely a blown headgasket. Fill it up with coolant and run it for awhile and see if you're losing any coolant.

Yes, water is expected to come out the exhaust. Not a huge amount, but some. If you run it for an extended period of time and let the exhaust heat up good, the water will stop and just evaporate out.

It would be beneficial to know if you are turbo or not, next time include as much information as possible or put it in your signature.
