    water condensation is normal especially on the colder mornings and the longer you idle the car before driving the more there will be. and standing behind the car you will see it dripping of the tail pipe when you reverse the car out the driveway it will pour out and leave a trail behind the car.
    this is all normal, unless you notice your radiator level droping.
    frequent short trips allow the condensation to build up and sit in your muffler and resinator and cause them to rust out much quicker than a car that does long trips.

    watch your coolant level, also when the head gasket goes it may keep steaming out the exhaust when the engine is already warmed up.
