Blown head gasket.

Imagine a cylinder with 4 slots around the outside of the cylinder, and then put a cap on the cylinder with corresponding slots so the slots all meet at the top but are kept separate to the cylinder and then you fill the slots with water, you could say you effectively have a "water jacket" around the cylinder. In order to keep the water out of the cylinder, you must have some sort of material to stop the water leaking in. The material is called a gasket. When it no longer seals, you then have a problem. The gasket is inexpensive but to get to it is time consuming and , thus expensive.

Sorry.

Actually, it is normal to see water coming out of a tailpipe. That is merely condensed water vapor as a by-product of the combustion process. Look around on a cold morning and you will see water vapor (white smoke) coming out of most cars. As the car warms up,the exhaust heats up ant the water vapor/water stops coming out of your tailpipe. Unles you smell or see anti-freeze coming out of the tailpipe, dont worry about the water.

What does water coming from exhaust pipe mean?

Not much. When the exhaust pipe is cold, water vapor will condense as the exhaust cools on the pipe. After the pipe heats up, the vapor will not condense. Remember that the combustion of hydrocarbon fuel produces both carbon dioxide AND water vapor as a normal part of the process. All gasoline engines produce water vapor and all water vapor condenses if the exhaust pipe is cool.


What does it mean when water comes out the exhaust pipe of my impala?

Water comes out of all tailpipes no matter how minimal. The combustion reaction of burning gasoline (C8H18) and oxygen (02) produces carbon exhaust (Cx) and water (h20) thus leaving water in your tailpipe. Water can also appear in an exhaust pipe due to condensation. Water in an exhaust pipe is perfectly normal and is of no harm to your vehicle, or any vehicle.
