What causes a water leak from the tailpipe of a 1988 Chevy Celebrity?

Water coming out the tailpipe means there is water in the exhaust. This is not uncommon when the engine is cold and the exhaust is condensing. That situation should stop when the engine warms up. If the exhaust continues to have water in it after the engine is warmed up it could possibly indicate a leaky head gasket or cracked cylinder head.

When your driver side of the engine is smoking what do it means?

It's difficult to say, without seeing where under the hood it's coming from. You could have a bad exhaust manifold gasket, leaking exhaust. You could have valve cover gaskets leaking or seeping oil, which would drain onto the hot exhaust manifold, and burn off... If you can provide more information on where the smoke is coming from, there may be a better answer.

I'm not a mechanic / technician , but it sounds like you are getting engine coolant into an engine cylinder if you are getting white smoke out of the exhaust when your engine is warm ( it could be a bad head gasket , a warped head , etcetera )
