I haven't been driving the car much the last two months. Yesterday when I moved my car (had some yard work done and had to move cars around), I noticed a sloshing/wooshing sound whenever I would hit the gas.

It was only when I was parked and not in gear. Once the car warmed up, it stopped.

I looked on line and it seemed to indicate there was air in the system. So I started the car up, took the cap off the reservoir, and let the car run for about 30 minutes (in theory to burp the system). I did notice some air bubbles coming up, but nothing out the ordinary.

I figured I was done with the issue. However today when I moved the car, it still made the noise.

The noise seems to come from the middle of the dashboard.

I do seem to have a super slow leak in the system, but super super slow.


Could it be the heater core? Maybe the hoses from the eater core that go back to the engine?

    You can try getting the car warm and turning the heater on full blast for a couple of minutes, then doing the same with the defroster with the heat still up.

    Loof for a fog on the windshield - wipe your finger on the windshield above the defroster - then taste your finger and if it is sweet, this is antifreeze and you have a heater leak.

    Is your car parked on a solid surface? - if not, a dripping leak may be soaking into the ground.
