weird sounds

[worknprog.99]

so when the car is running there is the sound of like someone recorded silence on a tape player coming from somewhere behind the dash....so just a fuzzy "white noise " kinda sound.. and when i turn the car off accasionally i hear the sound of like if someone tipped over a few 2 liter pop bottle so like a gurgling sound.....oh and i have a small coolent leak from somewhere i cant find... it is collecting about a foot inside the right front tire... but cant find the source..... any ideas ?? i have a possible theory but i hope its wrong...
sorry for the long post just kinda frustrated lol:cool:

This is a 99' 2.4L AT I'm guessing?

Gurgling noise sometimes comes from low coolant. Any other mechanical issues?

[worknprog.99]

its 99 3400... and i have plenty of coolent.... the hissing sound has stopped it seems...but im clueless lol....

[comanche]

Is there still a leak, do you have pics?

[worknprog.99]

no no pics.. but yeah there is a minor coolent leak...

if its really quiet its common to hear a gurgling sound from the heater core on any vehicle if its warm like after a long trip.

[worknprog.99]

so not much to worry about then?? it does it sometimes even on a short across town trip

maybe you have air in your system cause of the lil coolant leak.

LIMG done?

just purge the coolant there is a little screw on top of the water pump unscrew it a little bit i belive is a 10mm socket im not shure but let it run and you'll start to hear a hissing sound which is the air in the engine well that was my best suggestion lol i also have a weird noise since i changed the alternator it sounds like it was a mini turbocharger weiiird lol
