If your AC was on, yes. It's just condensation dripping off.

Yes, condensation from the AC, may even make a 'sizzling' sound as water hits your manifold pipe.

That's exactly what I'm hearing and send lots of water.

Do you know what's the normal temperature for it.

Every car does the same thing. The A/C system removes moisture from the air and it drips down under the car.

Why are you using the AC? Top off is the best AC.

You tell us next to nothing. Where is it dripping from in relationship to the car? Is it just plain water or otherwise? Given what little you've told us, all have done the best they can to reply... mostly. Now, go for a DRIVE!
