Engine Mechanical problem
1998 Dodge Intrepid 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

The car runs perfect, just like a new motor. but its blowing moisture out the tail pipe and if i rev the motor it spits water about 6' out and forms a small puddle behind the car. There's no moisture in the oil at all the heater turns cool unless i rev te motor up but as i said the engine runs perfect.

Water from the tailpipe is a normal condition. one of the byproducts of the internal combustion motor.. the water vapor will condense on the exhaust pipe walls and accumulate inside it. there is a hole in the bottom of the muffler to allow the trapped water to escape. it will also drip from your tailpipe.

if this is radiator coolant rather than water than you may have a cracked cylinder head gasket or cylinder head.
