IS THIS AN INDICATION OF WATER IN THE FUEL OR A LEAKING HEAD GASKET ??
DROVE TO MIAMI YESTERDAY FOR A SHOW, ABOUT 1.5 HOURS AND IT DID NOT OVERHEAT. STARTS AND RUNS GOOD. ??

This will be the first advice I've handed over since signing up and it really only repeating what has been said above.
I've been starting mine up every now and again while I'm trying fix other problems and mine has been dripping water from exhaust after I start it. If I rev it enough it goes away.
I've had it sitting in the garage for about 3 month. It's quite humid here in Auckland so I'm not surprised moisture condenses in the exhaust.

Being a 78 this car has catoletic-converters and correct me if I'm wrong but I thought these convert exhaust gases to liquid This would cause the leaking fluid plus I agree there would be an amount of condensation.

If it is fairly new then I wouldn't have issue. After a couple of years depending on driving habits I would without a doubt want to look into this. (Probally sooner with the blower.)
Depending with the amount of heat emited, the pipe structure, and driving time condensation could occur for quite some time.
