oil pan dripping sound all the time!!

whats up guys?

Ive been having this oil pan dripping sound coming from my car for over a week now. It sounds like a big drop about every 5 seconds, kinda like its falling into my oil pan. Ive kinda located the sound to the passanger side of the car towards the middle almost. The sound happends during driving and after the car is off for about 20min. My oil levels have remained the same but im still worried.

I have a 06 coupe with about 3k miles now. Im coming up on my first oil change soon, but i was hoping you guys could help me pin point this now.

Thanks in advance!

You sure it's an oil dripping sound?? - It may be since oil will drip back down into the pan for a while after shut-off.

It might also be the exhaust pipes cooling and shrinking yeilding a tell-tale "tink-tink"....

I bet it's the pipes, but then again I only hear mine when I shut off the car.

I would agree its probably the pipes aswell, i just used the oil pan dripping sound for a description. But i def can hear the sound while at stop lights coming from under the car passanger side. What would drip into there?
