has it been running hot, I dont know if you can really warp the motor enpough that water would come out of the exhaust, but I guess that it might be possible. See if the motor gets too hot, it warps and leaks coolent into the combustion chamber. Here are some questions; did it recenlty over heat, is it able to start, will it continue to run, how much water is it?

its normal. no coolant leak. nothing bad. if your car does this on a hot day, then youre in trouble.

i don't think the coolant could possibly make it all the way to the tip of the exhaust but i suppose its possible. that just sounds really unlikely.

but as rs_1101 said and i said earlier, this is perfectly normal in the cold with any type of car.
