My tea kettle always drips tons of water when boiling. Is this dangerous? How can I get it to stop leaking?

Where is it dripping from?
Yes, if it’s an electric kettle, could be dangerous.

Don’t fill the kettle too far. When water boils it wells up and overflows if the kettle is too full. This may be giving the impression that it’s leaking. Try filling it only partway and see if it still drips.
If the water is very cold when you Fill the kettle, and the air is humid, water vapor in the air will condense on the sides of the kettle and also give the impression that the kettle is leaking.
If the kettle is not overfilled and it still leaks when heated, it’s probably a goner. My guess would be that when heated,parts that aren’t properly bonded together—like the place where the spout meets the body and the place where the sides meet the floor—expand and separate. Water needs only the slimmest of cracks to escape.
