Default Something leaking on exhaust....

After driving my C5, doesnt even have to be long, I get a tssssssss sound. Im sure its water and its dripping onto my exhaust near the collector. Cars too low to really see where its coming from. Where could this be coming from? I hope its nothing too serious. Oh and its only on the passenger side. Any help......

It is more than likley the AC/Heater box drain dumping condensation out. I bet you had the defrost or AC on didnt you?

That would be normal. The drain is on the passengers side of the fire wall and it is about even with the lower cornner of the head.

Here is a picture of about where it is. The flashlight beam is shinning on the area where the drain fitting is:



Here is what th drain looks like:



If you have headers, it will be a bitch gitting to it! It is best accessed from the top.
