water dripping?

[cbarr300]

Ok guys....just a quick question.

After finally taking the car out for a tad longer of a drive than it normally gets I noticed a hissing sound....like water sizzling. Well after looking around the engine bay I noticed some water dripping from a hole in the firewall...it looks like maybe something snapped off it somehow. It's on the passenger side under the heater hoses and right above the longtubes.

The water is dripping on the LTs so thats whats making that noise....to the question.

This is the first time that I used the heater so what I'm wondering is if this is the hole the water drips out of for the AC and if it should have a hose coming off of it or not?

Id bet a beer that is your heater core hoses , simply check them and replace both if are broken!, or in a worst case scenario you will be looking to replace the heater core radiator , or the easy way is just to bypass it

Just condensation hitting the headers. The first time I heard this I thought I had a flat tire.

No bigs, common issue.

I'd agree with the condensation comment. Also, Ford's heater setup uses the A/C compressor during defroster use, so if you were using the defroster, that would explain it. If not, I think the heater core should have a drain channel that runs below the heater hoses to drain any coolant leaks outside of the vehicle instead of onto the carpet. Hope that helps!
