Doubt you can hear it in this clip:

So after driving my card relatively hard, you can hear a sizzle. The air conditioning is on, FYI. You can see the water in the clip... it isn't oil, and I doubt other fluids... it evaporates. But sometimes the sizzle is like bacon frying, and it creaks a bit as it seems to cool down.

I have my 16,000 service coming up, and wondering if it's anything other than the air conditioning condensate hitting something hot, or if it is something to be concerned about?? I'll mention it, but I assume you guys know first. =)

 

Sizzling is a good with steaks. Engines...not so much. Temp fluctuation creaking/crackling...ok. Don't see any vapors of any kind rising off the engine or manifolds?

 

Absolutely nothing like that. It's under the chassis away from the engine. Someone mentioned that exhaust has a hole to drain excess water, or it's likely AC condensate. It seems only after hours of driving, sort of aggressive, and with AC on full blast. THANK YOU AS ALWAYS SIR.. You rock.

 

Little doubt it is AC condensation, probably dripping/spraying onto part of the exhaust system, I've had the same symptoms on a couple of previous cars. Only happens when you drive hard through the twisties with the AC on.

 

Probably the A/C dripping. I get that here in the south where it's so humid. There should be no smell or odor from it if it's just water.

 

It's definitely water from the A/C dripping on hot parts. It's quite common on many cars.
