Many local water systems ask for a vacuum breaker on any hose connection, and most newer sillcocks have one built into the head. Older taps in Birdsboro and around here often don't. Adding one is a small job and it keeps hose water from being pulled back into the house supply if pressure drops.

A small amount of water at the base right after use is how the drain port is supposed to work, since the hydrant empties below the frost line. Constant wetness when the hydrant isn't running is a different matter and usually points to a worn plunger or a cracked standpipe. Either way it wants looking at before the ground freezes.

The usual reasons are a partly closed interior valve on that branch, a clogged vacuum breaker at the head, or corrosion narrowing an old galvanized run to the wall. Age is the deciding factor in older housing. A plumber can tell which of the three it is quickly.
