Has your coolant level been steadily dropping? If not, no, you don't have a coolant leak. Cold, dry air makes it easy to generate visible water vapor and some will condense inside the exhaust pipes, resulting in the dripping you see. Now, if the liquid dripping out the exhaust is green then you may have issues, and like I said keep an eye on your coolant level. Water vapor is a healthy and expected byproduct of combustion using fuels that have Hydrogen in them.
