weird noise when starting car

when i started my car to go to school today i heard a "putt putt" noise from the car and almost like gurgling water faintly. i looked under the car and sure enough there was slow dripping water from the engine side of my catalytic converter.... exhaust leak? or is the dripping water normal? if it is a leak should i go ahead and get new gaskets or just tighten the bolts down tighter. im not really good with exhaust problems so thanks for any help

A/C on? If so, it's normal condensate.
