A lot of water, or just a little?
If it's a little water (a few drops) then it's probably normal. Condensation is a normal byproduct of combustion. If it's great gallons of water, the you are probably burning coolant. Does the coolant level drop?

Then you have a problem.
With a COLD engine, remove the radiator cap, top up th coolant level and then start the car. Walk around to the front of the car and rev it using the throttle body. Do you see a steady stream of bubbles coming from inside the engine that increases violently as the car is revved? If yes, then you have a coolant seal compromised by either a failed seal or a cracked/corroded iron. The only cure is to rebuild the engine.

It's possible that a coolant seal was improperly installed (grounds for a warranty check if you outsourced the rebuild) and thus there should be little damage to the engine components if you take care of it sooner than later.
