Condensation. Nothing to worry about.

Also, a little bit of water is formed during the combustion process of petroleum fuels.

Just to confirm what the other guys said, it is just a by product of combustion. The cat breaks down the exhaust gases and creates water and carbon dioxide. Unless for some reason it is actual coolant coming out of your tailpipe then you will need a head gasket or possibly an intake gasket and also a new cat.

blue smoke is burning oil
if it was rich in gas you should see black smoke
burning coolant will be white smoke
