If its dripping from the water pump and the coolant isnt coming from any where else you need to replace the water pump.I would pressure test the cooling system and make sure thats where its coming from.It is something to be worried about leaks only get worse and you can damage your engine from a coolant leak if it gets bad enough and the coolant gets low enough.
