Took the car in today...

The hiss was the battery boiling over and leaking acid onto the vacuum tubes below causing a leak.

There is an acidic splotch (sp?) on the paint under the hood where it happened.

I also have them fixing the flash to pass which was broken. They gave me a 2k4 C230 Coupe to drive, kinda fun.

Should I be bitchin about the paint?

I did, and they took care of it, Engine bay looks good as new. Of course the car stinks after paint now. [] That will go away. []

I would point out the spot in the paint and ask them to fix it. The dealers I have been to would not have any problem addressing the issue. Of course with some of the stories we hear you might need to push. But give the dealership the opportunity to step up and take care of the problem.

What caused the battery to boil-over? A faulty charging system?

Dunno, on the list to check.
