I don't know what type of fluid I would have between the dash and firewall or near the firewall within the engine compartment, but I am hearing a gurgle/sloshing sound when I stop at stop signs or red lights then pull away. It seems like some container of fluid is only partially full and there is water or some other fluid sloshing during the car movement. I don't get the sound during highway speeds as the fluid doesn't seem to move around so much without changes in momentum. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Washer fluid works fine.

The only fluid that should be entering the passenger compartment is coolant. If there is a sweet smell when you turn on your heater or if your windows fog up when you initialy turn on the defroster you probably have a leaking heater core. The gurgling sound could be caused by air in the coolant system.
