1993 CHEVERLET Z71 MOTOR IS A 350 WHAT THINGS COULD CAUSE WATER OR GAS TO DRIP OUT OF THE TAIL PIPES

No, you should not worry. Tail pipe dripping isn't related to your radiator. It's common especially if your vehicle sits alot.

Small oil leak. You need to find the source of it. Use some good engine degreaser and clean it up. You should then be able to find where it's coming from as you fire it up and check around. I understand sometimes that's hard because things are packed in. How fast are you losing oil? Check the level on your dipstick.

White Smoke is coolant being burnt,usually from
a failed head gasket

The motor overheated & pushed out the freeze plugs

They told you different things for several reasons

They don't have your commitment to leave it & part with your money
They have little experience themselves
They or the shop does not want the job (my guess)
They can not make money on a job that will last a week or more
They won't tell you that you have a job coming costing you $3,000

The motor may have to come out for the freeze plug issue
The head gaskets may have to be done

That is all the guessing from here,sorry

raw where,
tail pipe
or injectors leaking on top of intake
or dripping for exhaust flanges.
or just black smoke, tell more get more.
im done, all 60days honda, done. no empty slots.
my anwers are for you and others that know how to search/

change fuel pump if you can I have same exact problem solved after changing fuel pump

One of the main causes of white exhaust smoke and coolant loss is a cracked or warped cylinder head, a cracked engine block, or head gasket failure caused by overheating. A cracked head may allow coolant to leak into one or more cylinders or into the combustion chamber of the engine. Dirty coolant, a poorly maintained cooling system, a low coolant level, or a non-functioning cooling fan can cause engine overheating. In addition, engine wear can eventually cause the gaskets to lose their capacity to seal properly allowing internal coolant loss. Intake manifold gasket and head gasket failures are two of the most common sources of internal coolant loss caused by engine wear.


Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

yes it is the head gasket .rebuild motor could cost you around 2 to 3000 could check out a junk yard and get one used

I have a 1997 chevy 1500 350 4x4. My problem is that I can not get my headlights to work. I have checked the fuses inside the truck and under the hood. They are all good. My side markers work, my tail lights works, and even my day time running lights work. The only thing that doesnt work is the headlights. If I turn my head lights on my day time running lights turn off. Does any one have an idea of what could be causing this.

Chances are it is water coming out this is normal to notice some water dripping out of exhaust periodically as the car runs, If the liquid actually smells like gas i am at a lose I have never heard of this occuring.

check the choke it may be stuck closed or you may have a stuck float in the carburetor if you need help with checking these things leave a comment and i will get back to you on that..........thanks

You either have had the wrong valve seals installed, they are physically missing, or the valves are incorrect (too loose in the guides/stem too thin). The rocker arm seals will not contribute to your issue. If it did not have the oil smoke before you took the head off, the issue is with whatever the machine shop did. Valve seals have to fit TIGHT, or oil will go down the valve stem into the intake.
Take the head back to the machine shop & tell them to fix it. For free.
