Default Water from Catalytic Converter

Drove to Costco to get gas today, about 1.2 miles. Noticed water leaking from catalytic converter. Know some water is normal but more than I expected, hard to estimate quantity when in a puddle but I would say at least 1/2 cup or more. Came back home and still some water was leaking from the drain hole but not as much. Is this normal for this amount and time?

Normal. Amount of water depends on temp and humidity.

C=leftatalytic converter or muffler? The converter to exhaust is sealed, with the muffler having a drain hole for condensation which is normal.

Probably muffler, right in front of the rear bumper.
