That water is most likely from your cat.

could be a cracked head. i dont know the rest of the story but water in the tailpipes is not good. If that gaskets are good, then the head must have a crack in it.

could be a hair line crack in the water jackets. I had a NASTY surprise when I tore my engine apart to fix what I thought was a blown gasket.

Twin 4" long cracks on both sides of the block between cylinders 4&6, and 5&7!!!!! VERY big cracks!

You could give that ceramic engine sealer a shot.
