Good Day,
I have changed the coolant and notice water coming from the exhaust, could this be a coincidence as the car was trucked from the east coast, sat all winter in the snow. or have i cracked the head/gasket? yikes

If it is clear water dripping out pipe, it is simply condensation caused by gasses leaving the hot convertor, and is normal.

A head gasket would cause clouds of white smoke with a sweet smell.
