GURGLING SOUND? HELP!

[freebird21207]

I JUST HEARD A NEW SOUND ON MY 96 240SX THAT'S FREAKING ME OUT!

I THINK IT MIGHT BE MY WATERPUMP, BUT I'M NOT SURE.WHEN I GO TO CUT OFF THE CAR. I HEAR A SHORT AND SLIGHT GURGLING SOUND. KINDA LIKE WHEN YOU BLOW WATER THROUGH A STRAP INTO A CUP. A FRIEND OF MIND'S NEON WON'T RUN AND IS MAKING THE SAME NOISE. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S CAUSE THEIR PROBLEM, BUT I DON'T WANT MY CAR TO CONK OUT ON ME BECAUSE OF SOMETHING A SILLY AS NEEDING A NEW WATERPUMP. IT'S ABOUT TIME TO CHANGE MINE AND MY TIMING CHAIN THOUGH. ANYBODY GOT ANY INSTALLS FOR THE WATER PUMP AND CHAIN TOO. SO I CAN DO THEM MYELF. ANY ADVISE WELCOME, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'VE HEARD THE SOUND BEFORE. I'M DRIVING ACROSS COUNTRY IN 3 WKS, SO I NEED TO DO ALL THIS STUFF QUICKLY, OR I MIGHT JUST BE STRANDED IN KANSAS SOMEWHERE

Are you leaking coolant anywhere? If your system has an air pocket in it you may hear gurggling in the dash when you romp the gas from idle. If so you need to burp the system of air. But if you are seeing coolant leaking you gotta fix that first.

My car made that sound once. It was low on Power Steering fluid.
