When I turn off my 1999 outback, I hear a dripping sound coming from underneath the hood. It sounds like it is dripping inside a tin part

Hi there,

This may just be the heat shields on the exhaust cooling down, they will make a bit of a noise, if in doubt, have the cooling system pressure tested for a leak, just to be on the safe side.
