Question Strange dripping noise under my car????

Just drove back from work, after I switched off my car, I heared sound of liquid dripping from under the car, but can't really find where it's from, and there's no leaking.

I know it's normal if the sound is from the engine room(engine oil), but really have no idea what this is.never happend before on any of my cars.


Anyone knows??:co nfused:

It's like multiple clicking noises from underneath the car right? I started noticing that yesterday too. I'd be ineterested to find out what the hell that is.

clicking noise

mine does the same. it's just the metal cooling off and contracting/expanding at different rates.

Has any EVO X driver experienced "the craziness of RPM pointer "?? The pointer moves between a range of 200 rpms while the car's idle(no a/c). Sometimes even worse, range of 500 rpms.

yeah, like crazy 8 months ago before the factory reflashes. I guess it still does it occasionally.

And was curious also about that noise, thanks for post. Figured it was just the metal contracting/expanding. I park my car in a heated underground garage and when i drive outside now i can hear some "clicking" "cracking" noises from the windows as the car/glass starts to cool and contract.

Side note, I've now had this happen twice where i open the drivers door and when it reaches the fully open position i hear a loud/sharp "pop" noise. any clue what that might be? anyone else had that?
