Hello, This may be a stupid question but I recently started noticing a ticking sound and somewhat concerning engine vibration when idling, so I started my car and popped my hood to check everything over and noticed a significant flow of air coming straight up from the very front of the car. It basically blasts you in the face when looking into the hood and thus I don't recall experiencing this before. Is this normal? Or could there be some sort of leak from a hose or the condenser?

I recently had the AC/Fuel dilution issue update performed on my car from the dealer and have been paranoid about impending AC issues that I see on this forum. My car has 23K miles on it and I haven't noticed any issues with the AC yet, but I have been hearing a strange whistle at idle recently.

Also, it is my understanding via searching this forum that the ticking sound is normal due to the direct injection and even the engine vibration is common at low rpm.

Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated!
