A/C overheating my engine?
When A/C is on and after running for a while a howling noise is heard from underhood, checked that noise and it turned out to be the fan clutch forcing more air to the engine. In the engine compartment everything is unusually hot, air from the fan does not feel not as normal. Temp gauge shows steady!!!, found some leaking in the passenger side. ....Also started to heard louder clicking when A/C is on.
Everything (now howling sound from the fan, temp. underhood feels not as hot ) comes to normal when A/C is turned off and drive few blocks to cool off the engine!
Have been twice at the dealer with no fixes but their typiccal "it is normal" phrase.
Many tanks for your inputs!
