Question Odd Noise: Water Gurgling....

Well... First of all, I noticed this noise a couple months ago and never since. I just noticed again tonight. I was moving the car and after turning off the engine, I could hear this faint water gurgling type sound. I am hearing it from the inside of the car, it is coming from the passenger side. If i stick my head down by the passenger side kick panel, it's gets quite a bit louder, almost like the noise is coming from right behind the firewall. I can't think of anything in this area that can make this kind of noise. If I didn't know better, I'd say there was an aquarium in my engine bay....

I don't think it's audible outside of the car, and the car was only running for a minute or so, not hot enough to move any coolant arounf I don't think.

Mine does the same thing once and awhile as well. Usually only if I just start it up quick and turn it off. I wouldn't worry too much.
