Head gasket gone and possibly a coreplug
WHAT ABOUT THIS TOO I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH SPACE TO ADD THIS........
I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THE ENGINE WAS SMOKING OUT THE UNDERSIZE OF MY CAR. I COULD HEAR THE PRESSURE OUTSIDE MY CAR STANDING BESIDE THE ENGINE/ I READ ANSWERS TO OTHER QUESTIONS AND I HAVE ABOUT THE SAME EFFECTS OF A CRACKED HEAD. CAUSE WHEN ITS COLD IT RUNS GOOD ONCE IT WARMS UP THATS WHEN EVERYTHING HAPPENS Few heads ever crack, cracking tends to be engine manufacturer/model specific. Could still be the head gasket, water jacket pressurises as it heats. With the engine cold check and top up the water tank. Leave lid off, start the car and look for bubbles in the water tank. There should be a few as the system bleeds itself then nothing except the odd one. (Don't leave the lid off too long, as the engine heats the water will expand and spill out. If the bubbles don't subside then the head has to come off. Only then will a specialist be able to determine if the head is cracked or just a skim and gasket needed. After a short time put the lid on and let the engine come up to temperature. Observe where the water/steam is escaping from, it might be a pipe, core plug or even the water pump

A gm 3.8 l v6 or 3800 cc engine cannot have antifreeze in exhaust without first getting into the engine.

Also this engine depending on the model year may have issues with the intake manifold gasket, that can cause antifreeze to leak into the engine oil.

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.
Does a bubbling sound from th engine indicate a need for more antifreeze?
A bubble sounds from the engine usually indicates that the engine is seriously overheating. It is best to turn off the engine and call a mechanic. Adding antifreeze may help, but it is likely leaking somewhere.
