I have a 1998 Jeep Wrangler 4x4 with a 2.5 4 cylinder engine and 5 speed man. transmission. It currently has 106,500 miles. I seem to be losing coolant but can not find any external leaks (eg: loose hose, failed water pump, etc.). I have noticed, however, that when it's running in a stationary position water drips from the exhaust. Could there be an internal coolant leak making its way to the exhaust? If there is how extensive of a repair is it?

What's happening is if its not condensation I would say a crack head or block and a blown headgasket.

Estimates: Part/s about $26.00 Headgasket
Labor 4.5hrs
Rate/Varies with location $50-$125 per hr.
