Drip and sizzle.. Passenger exhaust?
Just got home tonight from work and I noticed that when I shut my car off it made a really weird sound, and contiued to until it cooled down. It sounds like something is dripping, then hitting the exhaust and sizzling and burning. I got scared because the motor is new and I thought a head gasket might have blown, I checked my oil and coolent, no mixing, no over heating or anything of that sort, The only liquid I have on the ground it condensation from the A/C, I'm wondering if this is what could be hitting my exhaust? I'm still kind of worried its a head gasket, but mostly because I'm paranoid. Anybody have any idea what this could be?

most likely its the a/c. my car does this too when i run it, and espescially so now with my 3 inch td setup. keep an eye on your fluids, but i think youll be ok. btw dripping from the head onto the exhaust is pretty unlikely. coolant usually runs down the block to the pan, then drips off.
