Most likely it's condensation. Nothing to worry about.

its a good thing. it means your engine it running at stoikiometry. (or however you spell it) it is the ideal A/F ratio 14.7:1.

Water is normal, unless its like a gallon a minute. But then again I don't know what would cause a gallon of water to come out of the exhaust.

But yeah, its fine.
