Audible dripping sound beneath the vehicle

I am unable to ascertain whether this is typical.
I have observed when I have commuted to work, for instance. I have been driving on the highway, thus the engine and exhaust have reached optimal temperature. Arriving at work, I exit my vehicle and discern a dripping sound emanating from beneath, difficult to locate but situated near the central area. It appears to be something leaking onto the exhaust or within it. Whatever it may be, it is cascading onto metal. I cannot observe any liquid descending.
As soon as I deactivate the vehicle, it ceases operation. You merely perceive the typical metallic sound. Has anyone else encountered this? Is this typical? I have possessed this vehicle since January; I cannot recall if it has consistently exhibited this behaviour.
