Sizzling noise when open the hood
Hi guys,
I have had my 2013 Honda Civic EX for almost a month. Recently, I've noticed that when I turn off the engine and the engine is warm (driven for at least half an hour) and open the hood, there is a sizzling noise coming from somewhere which I was not able to determine. It sounds like air or fluid leak but there is no obvious liquid puddle beneath the car. Any ideas what it might be. Have you ever had this problem?

Never heard that in my '03, although my friend's F150 hisses after he turns it off... are you driving with max A/C? Can you get us a video with the noise?
If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: Sizzling noise when open the hood
The hissing noise is the AC system, pressures slowly equalizing inside the system (through the compressor) after the engine is shut off.
Completely normal and expected.
