Subject:Water from tailpipe
From:WVVW

I noticed a strange thing this weekend.  When I first fire up my van I see condensation coming from the tailpipe, both as steam and small droplets.  The condensation does not smell like coolant.  After about 5 minutes or so, the condensation goes away and the exhaust fumes are bone dry.

What gives?  I thought the obvious, that I may have a blown head gasket, but I don't seem to have any of the other indicators (i.e., sounds, engine running hot, coolant overflow, etc.)
