Leak?

This happens after the truck has sat a bit then is moved.


I don't think it's anything to be alarmed about but... I've got something leaking which appears to be water (clear, no smell) out of the exhaust pipe just after the Cat on the drivers side.

The drip is coming out at the pipe right where the clamp is in the picture. It leaves a 3 or 4" wide puddle then eventually stops. I know its water, but is there a seal or something at the flange which should be preventing or is this normal for condensation to drain here. Am I over reacting on this?
