problem solving(engine leak)

hi guys

Recently, I found out there might be a leak on my engine. After I got home from work, I can hear some sort of sizzling noise. I think the noise is around the engine oil adding place. It sounds like water drop on the very hot pan. I can hear about 4 or 5 drops.

Have anybody ever experience this before? is this normal?

Thanks
JJ

Wiggum: Mmm, engine-block eggs. If we can keep these down, we'll be
sitting pretty.

Wiggum: Quiet! I can't hear the eggs.

very common question among people who just got their car...like Yolkster said, it is just condensation from the AC system dripping onto some super hot exhaust pipes.
