Are you sure it is in the exhaust and not running down from above?

How much coolant are you losing?

If the sealing rings failed you'd have compression or combustion gasses in
the cooling system.

In my opinion, the only way to get coolant into the exhaust would be a
cracked head.

Question;

I noticed coolant in the exhaust in my 89 van.

How is that possible?  What went wrong? Could the head be cracked?  Maybe
the gasket ring did not seal?
