With that said, I am also getting what sounds like some water flowing through pipes behind the dash in front of the passenger seat. How would I go about "bleeding/burping it out"? Or is this something normal that I should not worry about?

Also, my car sometimes idles a little roughly, usually at about 8-900 rpm's. If I give it a little gas to bump it up to the mid 1k rpm range, it smooths out completely, but the rough idle is both annoying and disconcerting. Is this problem a candidate for seafoam?
That is exactly what I was having. Make sure you got the MSP-16 or something like that technical service done. There is a thread listing them all, that helps, and mine still did it a little after so they tightened my motor mounts and now its smooth, like a babies butt.
