1997 Ford Taurus catalytic converter is leaking some type of fluid?

A natural by-product of engine exhaust is plain old water.
So if you are seeing a leak at the 'cat', and if it is clear liquid, it should be water.
Anything that doesn't look and feel like water is a sign of a problem, i.e., anti-freeze and/or engine oil getting into the cylinders and pushed out the exhaust.
That would be time for a visit to your local mechanic.

Can a turbo 350 torque converter leak?
A torque converter itself VERY rarely leaks. It's possible, but HIGHLY unlikely. If you have fluid leaking there, it is most likely the front transmission seal. The casing of the converter itself is basically two halves welded together, if the converter itself is leaking, there is most likely some pretty significant damage, so the leak would be the least of your worries. You can always check by disconnecting the battery and wiping the converter clean with a rag then slowly turning the flexplate. If it really is the converter itself, you will easily be able to see where it is leaking.
