Re: water from tailpipe

No cooling or overheating problems.
So is coolant level OK, and does the oil look good (not milky)?
No white smoke out the exhaust?
If all that's good, there's probably no problem.

Re: water from tailpipe

What fourwd1 said.
Keep a close watch on the coolant levels and how the radiator is acting. this is where a bad head gasket will start to show it's symptoms.
If you find you need to "add" small amounts of coolant is usually the first sign.
If everything is normal the water you see is just from condensation after the exhaust system cools. Unless the water is present every time you start it even when it's warmed up.

Re: water from tailpipe

If the weather has turned rather cold lately where you live it is normal for the exhaust system to have moisture accumulate in it as it sits over night, usually this should go away a little while after the engine has warmed up.

If you continue to have water coming out of the tail pipe long after the engine has warmed up it would be time to pull the plugs and do a compression test and see which cylinder is has antifreeze leaking into it.
