Water in exhaust?
On startup, after the AWS drops back down to "normal" idle my car smokes (white) and I noticed fluid coming out of my tailpipe. I think it is water, because it dosnt smell like coolant or oil. What may be causing this? Bad seals somewhere? Is it time for a rebuild? The car has 79k but on the second motor. I dont know when the motor was replaced because the precious owner put it in and i got my car from a dealer so i cant track him down. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

that is absolutely correct. water(H2O) is a by product of CO2(carbon dioxide). physics class taught me something. if forgot what else was in the equeation, but water is the result. now if oyu have niagra falls be worried.
