Depends on how much water you're talking about?

Healthy engines produce water, during the combustion process I believe.

So, a little dribbling out it fine.

Unless you have a huge cloud of steam or moisture out of tailpipe don't worry about it. normal

If you had an issue you would see it alot more than normal,and you would be loosing coolant,unless you start to loose coolant I would not be concerned.
