Just been out for a 'spirited' run. Put the car back in the garage and it sounds like something is dripping onto the hot exhaust. You can hear a sizzling sound as something hits what sounds like either the manifolds or exhaust. All fluids were checked before i left and were fine.Nothing obvious to see, could it just be the a/c or should i be more worried. I have a charity run tomorrow so don't want to miss it. Any ideas?

I am with the air-con condensate onto the exhaust and likely nothing to worry about.

Agreed

If it was coolant leaking you’d get that sweet smell of antifreeze. Which I actually smell sometimes
