Hissing Sound Under the Car

[YK9]

Hi all,I recently noticed that there's sound like water droplets on hot metal object (hissing sound) under the car after a drive. This happened only in certain occasions but not all the time.I tried looking under it but didn't notice anything wrong. Could it be leakages somewhere and is this normal?Hope some of you are able to shed some light.Thank you.

your aircond water oulet hose needs to be adjusted so that the droplets don't drop on the exhaust.

I sometimes get that pss pss pss psss sound after some spirited drive. JohnJ's right, the air cond water is dripping over the hot pipes!

another area that causes this scenario in an e46 is at the grills on bonet where washer nozzle is located... there is 2 outlet(both ends) where trapped water is released directly to exhaust manifold from left end... hissing sound..
