Coolant leaking?
I was adding some coolant liquid on my newly acquired 93 FD today, and I noticed after completing it that a lot of the liquid was dripping from underneath. Does this mean my cooling system has a leak, or is this normal in any way?

probably just the "overflow". but geez, just take a look at it, i mean it isn't that hard!
Besides, if you had a serious leak like that anyway, as soon as she heated up the coolant would be gone in 5min and your engine would be toast

Sounds like a leak to me.

the first question is *where* were you adding your coolant to? the overflow tank? the filler cap on the passenger side? the AST?
If it was the overflow, then realise that there are holes in the sides on the upper part. The overflow should not be filled to the top of the neck. In fact, when you top off the cooling system, you should be adding liquid to the filler cap on the engine, not the overflow bottle.
