When engine is cold like in the morning, start it up and check tailpipe for steamlike exhaust. If it dose'nt clear up , could be leaking head gasket or crack in head. Also, like Slayre said, check oil for milky brown color. If so, water is leaking into engine from head or head gasket. If its not leaking, it is going out the tailpipe. Badman

Could also be a heater core. Not all cars get the carpet wet when they leak.

I would call headgasket on this one.

If their is no visible sign of leakage inside or outside the car their is no other place for it to go other than the tailpipe!
