its 100% normal

surprisingly the combustion of carbon fuels has water as one of its products. The exhasut system is not hot enough to vapourise the produced water as the car is still cold. Thus, the product of water, condenses after leaving your exhaust manifold and becomes a liquid int he cool tail pipe and blows out. That is one reason why u must always make sure the engine/exhasut is hot before turning ure engine off e.g. driving short distances is bad because the water sits in your exhasut and rusts it.

you shouldn't drive it anymore that means there's deadly chemicals being produced and getting in the cab you should go get checked out at the hospital right away!

if its cold its ok if not its a blown head gasket

It's normal for the 240 exhaust to do this, the way it's designed it collects moisture.

My '95 Quest is starting to do that and I'm kind of worried. It's doesn't smell like gas and it doesn't look like coolant. It's just clear liquid. Is this normal for 175,000 miles?

Right on Sombs, i'm ASE certified and you've hit the nail on the head.. don't forget to mention the cat plays a part in turning unburnt fuel into water vapor which then condenses on the much colder pipes causing the slight pooling you see here. :)
