A cracked engine block? Do I win the trip to Hawaii? Actually, you may have some condensation dripping out of the tailpipe, which is perfectly normal for older cars or vehicles in colder climates. Heat from running the vehicle the night before builds up in the exaust pipes, and is transformed into condensation when it cools in colder climates, then when you start it up, the condensation drips out the tail pipe. That is, unless it's more than dripping, and its actually "flowing" out the pipe, and it's green. Then, your engine either ate the Hulk, and it's letting him out a little at a time or your engine block is severly cracked. Take you car to a mechanic that has a compression chamber "checker thingie" and find out what your compression SHOULD BE. If it's not near the number you need, you may have a blown head gasket, a cracked block, or a freeze plug or shot, where the water is dripping out and into a gaping hole in your exaust. Now do I win the trip to Hawaii?

Why is your 20001 cavalier overheating with all new coolant parts?
Is "all new coolant parts" everything? Thermostat is the first thing. Is the cooling fan coming on? New radiator cap? If everything is in fact new, take the cap off and start the car to see if the radiator is being pressurized with exhaust. A bad head gasket, cracked head or block could be the problem. Starting it with the cap off will cause coolant to blow out of the radiator.
