Could be many things best to have it pressure tested and inspected.

Which side is it dripping on? Mine just started dripping on the passenger side because the expansion tank is leaking somehow. This weeks project is to replace the expansion tank.

if you have a/c it could also be water vapour from the exapansion chamber mine drips out just in front of the wheel i also thought it was a pipe or the tank turned out it was the a/c

If you are SURE it is coolant, thencheck all the hose clamps. If they are good, thenget the system pressure tested. Otherwise, as earlier posted, it could simply be condensatiuon fron the A/C.
