Some water often comes from the tailpipe when first stating the car, especially in cold weather. This is due to condensation. On the other hand if the water does not stop coming from the tail pipe when the machine has warmed up and you are using excessive amounts of coolant or water you may have a faulty head gasket, cracked head or cracked block. If the later is the case your motor will be overheating and water will most probably also be finding its way into your oil which will wreck the wearing surfaces of the motor if you do not stop it immediately The oil turning white is a tell tale sign of this.

What if you have raw fuel coming out of the tailpipe?

I would check and make sure that isn't just water. Condensation occurs on the inside of the tailpipe as the vehicle warms up... If you had gasoline coming into your tailpipe you would experience backfiring, extreme backfiring.

1999 deville with 46 northstar tailpipe steaming and water in oil what sould you check?

Steam from the tailpipe, and water in the oil means you have a faulty head gasket. Not a good thing. The steam is the antifreeze/water coolant leaking into the heads (bad gasket) getting heated by the engine and coming out as steam. The water in the oil is the same deal, but it;s collecting in the oil so it isn't coming out of the tailpipe. You need a new head gasket. I promise.

Why water is coming out the tailpipe in a petrol car?

Typically, it would be due to condensation formed when the hot exhaust gases come into contact with the much cooler outside air. Worst case scenario, it could be the result of a blown head gasket (although water coming out of the tailpipe wouldn't be the only effect from that).
