Poor Ice! This excessive licking of his penis and the dripping of urine can be a sing of a medical problem such as a UTI or bladder stones. I recommend taking him into a vet today for a physical exam, blood tests, and urinalysis. Using these tests, the vet can diagnose what is causing his symptoms, and then can discuss treatment options with you. Good luck, I hope this helps!
