    I just bought a 2002 Vue a few weeks ago. Overall I'm happy w/ it. I do
    have one concern though... when I turn off the engine I hear a dripping
    sound. It last for a few minutes. I'm wondering if this is the AC
    drainage? I don't see any water dripping on the ground though? Anyone
    know if this is normal?

    let me also say that I think this is a dripping sound... but it could be a
    clicking? I'm not positive.

  3. Do you hear this inside or outside the vehicle? Is it louder inside or
    outside? Generally some clicking, dripping etc type sounds are pretty
    normal while a hot engine is cooling off. My guess - unless you're
    finding coolant/oil on the pavement under the vehicle, this is probably
    nothing to worry about.

    I don't have a Vue, but I always turn off the AC a few minutes before
    arriving to my destination, to allow the AC to dry, to reduce the corrosion.

    I don't hear it inside the vehicle at all. Only outside. I figured it was
    nothing to be concerned about. I guess I'm worrying more than I should be
    because it's the first used car I've ever bought. Thanks for the reply
    Richard.
