its good!

Unless it smells really "sweet" and white smoke after engine warms up.

But water in the exhaust is a good sign. Its just condensation. Thats why your exhaust rusts from the inside out.

Its good that the waters coming out....its better than it staying in the exhaust making it rust from the inside out.

Water is a byproduct of combustion. Its normal as mentioned above.

White "smoke" when its cold is just the warm exhaust air mixing with the cold atmosphere, just like your breath on a cold day.
