was it condensation or coolant in the tailpipe? condensation is normal. check your oil and your coolant for milkshake. it's possible that you just didn't top off the coolant after driving it. does it drive differently or overheat? also the smell of coolant in the exhaust is pretty noticeable, and white smoke would be pouring out, even after warming up.

If you installed the gasket and the deck was wet it wouldnt seal even if you use apr studs... Especially if the moly from the studs gets on it... However shooting in the dark is pointless without results... So test it... Rule that out... Monitor your coolant levels for a week or so... And then assume you did a ****ty job of burping the system and it sucked the needed fuild from the overflow...
