That bend under the sink is the trap. The nuts on it are meant to be hand tight. We see plastic nuts cracked because someone went after them with pliers. If the drip is at a nut, back it off and look at the washer. A washer that is split or flattened gets replaced. Hand tight, then a quarter turn. If the pipe itself is cracked, the trap gets replaced. A towel under the cabinet is not a repair.
Around Leitchfield, that drip turns into a swollen cabinet bottom if it sits for a week. The washer is the first thing we check.
