Re: Sick engine
If you are not loosing water out of the radiator, and, as you say, you ran for a very short time, the water in the exhaust may be coming from combustion or some water sitting in the exhaust system, especially since there was junk coming out the tail pipe. Normally the water from combustion exits the tail pipe as steam after the engine and exhaust system warms up.
In any case, it would be prudent to take the head off, valve cover off, pan off, and manifolds off for an inspection before running the engine again. You may be able to same some expensive repair bill or if you find nothing wrong you will feel good about running the engine.
