I got back from a long hot drive and parked in my garage and noticed a bizarre wheezing noise followed by gurgling from somewhere behind the front passenger wheel well. I tried to post a video but I'm having trouble getting it to attach, but does anyone know what's back there? I think it goes away when it puts itself to sleep after a few minutes. It happened again, today, stopped after a few minutes, and then began again when I opened the door and woke it up.

It's like a weird wheezy groan sound that lasts a few seconds, pauses to gurgle, and then repeats the pattern.

After a while of sitting it doesn't do it, at all.

I'm concerned I have a leak or something in my cooling system....

It's on my upcoming service appointment near the end of September but I'm curious if anyone here has witnessed anything similar, in the meantime

Mine made a similar sound today. I think it's condensation draining. When it's really humid out the AC components are going to condense. That's my theory anyways.

I have heard these sort of sounds before. It’s rare though and over the course of a year doesn’t seem to be getting any more frequent. If you spend time in your garage you’ll notice it makes a lot of little sounds.
