If it drips and never stops dripping, then you may have a head gasket problem, but if it's raining or snowing outside and it drips just a little bit, then you probably have moisture in your fuel which is normal. It started raining here on Monday, I filled my tank on tuesday, and my ****'s been dripping ever since.

Under the car or near the tail pipe?
If under the car it's most likely from the evaporator of the A/C.
If from the tailpipe its from the catalyst helps to convert carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons into carbon dioxide and water, and nitrogen oxides back into nitrogen and oxygen. Turning all those harmful gases into helpful ones.

No engine emission is helpful. Just not directly toxic..

A byproduct of catalytic converter operation is H2O. This is normal.
