Water from the exhaust tip is normal for a short time after startup.
Water from the two places that you mentioned isn't. I have a Gibson
and chose to have it welded at these positions. After a few years,
I noticed a pin hole in the muffler/tailpipe weld (black carbon will form
around it). The other weld is still okay.
Take a look (with magnifying glass if possible) at these two places.
I sealed the hole using a product called Liquid Metal by MotorMaster
(don't know if it's available in the States ... something similar should
be).
The only other place water should be coming from is the muffler if
it has been drilled at its lowest spot (some manufacturers did do this).
