Hello! I noticed yesterday my 2008 Sentra that I have had for a month now make a weird noise. I'm not sure if it's normal or anything so I thought I would ask! Okay so when I am coming to a stop, when I'm almost stopped, I can hear the sound of some sort of fluid sloshing around in the engine area. It hasn't rained recently where I live for awhile so I dont think any water is stuck in there or anything. I opened the hood a few days ago before this even happened to check my oil and everything looked okay. Should I look again? I haven't done anything like gone through puddles or anything... I just dont want it to be anything serious! So if your Sentra has made a noise like this and you know what fixes it please let me know!

Welcome to NicoClub!
Does this happen everytime when you stop the car?
Did you try looking under the car mabe you ran over a Bottle.
Try shaking the car with the hood open with car off and see if you still hear it.
Like, shake car back and forth. Then side to side.
Just concentrate on where the sound is coming from the most.
I hope everything works out for you.

Check anything that is liquid - window washer, coolant, oil, etc etc. see if any of the caps are open or missing. Check inside your car also - under the seats or even in trunk area - see if you might have a half-empty bottle of water or something similar stuck down there???

It's not every time i stop the car. I did what tommy suggested and went and shook it and probably looked like a total idiot haha and i couldn't make it do it. i checked all my liquid caps and they are all there, inside the car is clean, so i dont know!

Have you tried to see if it sloshes if the gas tanks full?
See if it does on a full tank of gas.

I know it does not do it specifically on a full tank of gas because it happened today and i'm just under halfway full on my tank. Thank you for the suggestion though. :)
