Not only is it normal but it is good. Smaller puddle on the garage floor and it is a telltale that the drain isn't plugged. If the drain gets plugged nasty thing happen. That sizzle tells you no maintenance is needed.

Home refrigerators have the drip pan incorporated atop the compressor.

A while back I read a thread dealing with the musty smell coming from the AC. I had a bad case of it. The solution was to turn off the compressor in the AC about 5 or 10 minutes before you arrive at your destination. I do this now and the smell is gone. I guess another advantage would be no dripping once you arrive therefore this problem you ask about is gone also. Good habit to get into although you do sweat a little at the end.
