Default 2014 Ecoboost: Hissing Near Glove Box When Accelerating

Hey All,

I'm stumped and hoping to find some help here. Recently had a hissing noise develop on the passenger side when accelerating. Discoveries so far as follows:
  • Hissing occurs when RPM gets over ~1500
  • Hissing only occurs when in drive or reverse
  • No issues when in park or neutral
  • AC on/off makes no difference
  • Dripping water from the passenger side firewall once parked
  • No impacts to engine temp or gas mileage
Truck Details: 2014 F150 Platinum Ecoboost

Any help/thoughts are appreciated!

Thanks,
Mack
