That's typical of a leaking head gasket IF the coolant level is going down in the reservoir. Usually it makes white smoke though. If you see clear or black water dripping, that can be nothing more than condensation in the exhaust indicating the catalytic converter is doing its job. Black water results from it washing the carbon residue out of the tail pipe.
