everytime after i take my car for a ride and get out of the car, i notice these weird sounds commin from my car. they sound exactly like water dripping down into a metal pan. i look underneath my car but theres no signs of any liquid dripping

does anyone know what the cause of these sounds are? and how do i fix it? =\

Do you mean your cat still burning off residual emissions?

If it sounds like water is sizzling off something hot, then listen in to trace it. You just have to keep looking until you see the fluid dripping.

Could be a hose carrying coolant or it could just be your A/C condenser. Coolant hose you will want to take care of before you lose too much water, A/C condensor is normal to see water dripping after using the A/C.

i'd like to ask you..
what kind of car do you drive?

Does it sound more like two sheets of metal clanging against each other?

It's the oil dripping down onto your oil pan after the car is turned off. Nothing to worry about

Oil can't be that loud...other things to consider are the heatshields/exhaust system that's contracting while cooling down.

i've always thought that or the differential fluid dripping.

That is what I was thinking. My car makes a sound similar to what is being described, but it is coming from my exhaust system as taoh said.
