Default water in #3 runner

um. when I just took my turbo manifold off to get re-welded due to a small crack I noticed there was water in the #3 runner. It's a 100% stock long block that ive bin driving pritty hard on 7-10psi sometimes when I get on it a little smoke will come out the exhaust but nothing crazy. oh it also burns like a quart every 2 weeks. whats the deal?

could be, does the car overheat?? i would do a compression test, if it were a cracked slleve or headgasket the test would show it. I think your best bet would be to pull the head. It might sound like a lot of work but its the best way to diagnose your problem.
