Seeing some water drip from the tail-pipe and also the drain hole in the skid plate when I start the jeep and let it run for a few mins. The skid plate drip is originating from a small drain hole in the cat.

Here is the spill from the tail pipe:

From the hole in the cat:

That's normal, it depends on where you live & how humid it is. When I was in FL my engines would make a much bigger puddle than up here in the high desert where I am now.
 
My TJ drips worse than that from pipe and cat. when I first bought it I thought it had a blown head gasket :( but on humid mornings its more noticeable other mornings nothing.
Noticeable to those who bother to get out and check their rear lights when going to work before the sun comes up :)
