Default 220k 2nd Gen LS400 Weird Leak from CC?

Hey all
I think I broke something in my LS400. I spotted a leak from LS400 beneath just the front wheels after driving some miles. I think it has something to do with Catalytic Converter flanges? - There was engine check lights shown weeks back and it went away after an OBD scan at O,Reilly, though the codes showed as faulty O2 sensor and CC.

Could someone explain what could be the problem before I take it to a mechanic as well as a fix? I have pics for help.

Has been warmish lately, has the air conditioning been on? This is normal operation for condensation to be drained off from use.

Yeah I used the AC to resort from Cali sun. Though it was the first time I looked under the car after parking as I would do some service soon so I was checking for leaks.

It's your AC... in Texas and places further southeast those turn in to really big puddles and you can see the condensations dripping off. No worries... keep on driving, right after you clean off all that horrible tar and road grime. Ugly.
