50/50 coolant and distilled water.

If its only early in the morning, or when its cold outside, you'll find. Its only condensation from the cold engine warming up and sending hot air through your cold exhaust pipe and muffler. If this is not the case, you probably have a leaking head gasket.

Coolant will not do that. Some steam will be visible, as stated, when the exhaust pipe is still cold (condensation) but not for too long.

Yes, head gasket leak it looks like .
