No, it is never normal for a bathtub overflow pipe or its surrounding gasket to drip. Any moisture or dripping around the overflow assembly indicates a failed rubber gasket, a loose faceplate connection, or a cracked pipe joint behind the wall, which will cause chronic structural water damage to subfloors and ceilings if left unrepaired. Verification: Inspect the overflow assembly during and after baths to ensure absolute dryness.
