When I put water in my 97 Tahoe it starts leaking heavily from the caddilac converter and around the muffler and exhaust pipe... What is this a sign of cracked head? Blown head cracked block? Intake gasket?? Why us the water coming straight out and the truck is not even crunk ? 
Sounds like more water than can get out a crack. Check if you have a frost plug on the block has come loose and leaking. There will be about 3 on each side of the engine block, located just below where the exhaust manifold mounts to the block. It's a pretty easy repair, provided there is enough room to work where it is located. Sometimes a smaller such plug will be found on the rear of the engine. The coolant must be leaking externally and running and dripping off your exhaust .

its not the head gasket it is the intake manifold gasket and you can bypass all the throttlebody seal by removing all the wires and taking it off these are very bad at doin this cause they have a plastic gasket look up some pics on it it took my and a friend bout 5 to 6 hours to do but the shop wanted 700 dollars so that saved some money.

It could just be condensation - you hope..
However - sinse it got so hot - it could very well be a bad head gaskit or even worse a cracked head..
Never drive a overheating vehickle..
Always shut it off..
My wife has cracked 2 heads this way..
Good luck !!

ok exhaust smells tend to intensify in cold weather. your vehicle is using more fuel the colder it gets. once the engine warms up does the smell go away? if it does, then i wouldn't worry.
SOURCE: possible oil leak from head gasket or crack in
if oil is leaking from the the top to bottom, check the gasket below the cover that has the daewoo name and sign on on top of the engine block. it could be cracked. replace with new one without any gasket sealant just replace the original and done

Why would you install one freeze plug,when water
comes out the exhaust
You have a bad head gasket
If head is bad, you will find that out
when you pull it and have it checked
for cracks,pressure tested etc.
