    If you have antifreeze solution in the radiator and a head gasket leak, it will make a sweet smelling smoke out the exhaust pipe. Plain water out the exhaust should pretty much go away after the engine reaches operating temperature. Is the car overheating or using up water? Check Engine light on?
