Flowing water sound...
I bought my 05 GT 8 a month ago, and have been noticing something that I find odd, and want to sooth my nerves if it isn't a problem, or take it to a dealer if it is.
When I first start the car, and when I first apply any light throttle, I hear the sound of running water/liquid, like someone is pouring a bucket of water over my engine. I check the oil level every gas fill up, and it is always between low and high, normally about halfway. I frequently pull out some, then get out and check the ground, and I don't have any leaking or draining, splashing, etc... I have checked under the hood, no fluids/dampness visible. I can only conclude that it is contained within something under the hood.
My 8 runs superb, 10,600 miles, but I want to know if this is something common or not, and if it isn't any guesses on what it might be to help let the dealer know what it is.
