catalytic converter converts some oxides to water, so water not a surprise in and of itself. Is there Antifreeze in your exhaust moisture? are you sure it is antifreeze? are you loosing coolant reservoir level at a measurable rate? Coolant only gets into exhaust by way of the cylinder head developing a leak. from the cooling jacket into the exhaust port of a cylinder. if it was leaking into the combustion chamber, you would have coolant in your oil, and the plug would be fouled with scale. possible to attempt a leak seal with K&N Metal Block Seal, if and ONLY if the leak is NOT into a combustion chamber. Or do the right thing and get the head repaired. Or, have your intake gaskets checked for leaks. On the 3.4 the intake gasket can leak coolant into the engine.

Why would there be exhaust fumes coming out of coolant jug?
The head gasket is blown.
Why would anti freeze leak from exhaust pipe?
A blown head gasket could allow coolant to enter the combustion chamber from the water jacket. The coolant probably is running out the exhaust on first start-up. More often, you will notice the coolant being pumped out of the overflow as the exhaust gas pressurizes the coolant. You should look for this symptom when the engine warms up. Coolant in the exhaust on start-up and then the coolant overpressure overflow from the expansion tank or radiator happening together is almost sure indication of the head gasket failure.
99 cadillac antifreeze keeps running low?
it sounds like your coolant over flow tank is leaking. it is a common problem with these cars. might also check your radiator for leaks or your exhaust for coolant, but if there is coolant in your exhaust that would mean blown heads
Would coolant leak from the head if it is a blown headgasket?
yes, and also usually there will be white smoke in the exhaust.
What can cause white smoke and gas spitting out the exhaust?
I know the white smoke would be caused by coolant, which would be leaking into the combustion chamber.
How do you know if the exhaust is getting in the coolant When you have the radiator cap off before the car warms up there are lots of bubbles?
If your exhaust is getting in your coolant, you have a reeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyy major malfunction.
Why would there be smell coming from the front of the car?
Could be overheated coolant or just leaked oil burning off your exhaust headers
Why is white smoke coming out of exhaust coolant level high?
Bad head gasket? Oil mixing with coolant?
Why is water coming from exhaust on a 1991 Chevrolet Suburban?
That is condensation due to the exhaust system being cold and the heat from the engine makes the exhaust system / pipes sweat. As the exhaust system heats up then that will stop. Now you said WATER not antifreeze. If you had engine coolant running out of the exhaust then it would be the color of the antifreeze and it would be steaming WHITE and then you would have an engine problem, MAYJOR. You said water. Drive it you have no problems. That is normal.
In a 1997 Chevy 350 v8 is there a coolant hose going the exhaust manifold and what is it called?
NO there is not, That would be a AIR tube line for the emission system.
Why is coolant getting into my exhaust?
Sounds like bad head gasket.
Can a leaking intake gasket cause coolant to flow into the exhaust system?
No.
