So after I drove home from work today I turned off the Jeep and crawled under to see how my skid I installed last week is holding up and I notice I hear a dripping noise, coming from the oil pan/engine area. Noting was dripping down that I could see, so Im assuming it was internal. Is it normal for fluids to make this noise within the internal parts of the Jeeo?

 

You are probably hearing the oil returning to the pan.

 

or the ac dripping on the tranny.

 

Is that ok/normal?

 

ac dripping onto your new skid plate maybe

 

+1, it is normal.

 

I’m not sure if the 3.8L engine has an aluminum block or not, but I know the last few vehicles I owned prior to getting my Jeep all had aluminum blocks and they all made that dripping noise after shutting them off at times.

 

the AC condenser issues are normal with pretty much every one that I've had (4 diff vehicles). Some drip more than others. Biggest thing is if you get fluid dripping to determine if it's water or oil.
