Engine

There is excessive moisture coming from the tailpipe and the engine coolant light keeps coming on. Adding coolant helps for short period of time. Engine is not overheating.

Probably a blown cylinder head gasket. If you don't fix it, the coolant will eventually get into the oil and ruin the engine. Not hard to fix, but it can be very time consuming if you have to remove a lot of parts to access the cylinder head (or heads).

To see if it's already too late, check your oil dipstick to see if there are any drops of coolant on the stick. Another way to check is to look at the underside of your oil cap. If coolant is getting into the oil, the underside of the cap will have a milky colored oil on it.
