Boiling water dripping
I realized the boiling water dripping and making sizzling sound after I parked my c7 in the garage today. Is this normal?

Ve heard the same thing. I think it's condensation dripping off the AC unit, but would also like to know what others think.

No! See if you can find where it is coming from. Often the heat soak after shutdown is the highest pressure for your cooling system so will expose any weaknesses.

It is normal. My C6 did it, the C7 is worse. The way it is.

If coolant is actually boiling you'd likely hear it, and can be verified by checking the gauge. Most likely its AC condensation dripping onto exhaust, like we all experience.

When you think about it, it makes sense. It helps eliminate/minimize puddles (and possible staining) under the car on your garage floor.

many many different cars over the years. Not just a Vette or GM symptom. Not new at all, for most cars.
