whenever my car is cold and I start it for a little while sounds like right behind the dash on the by the engine firewall, it sounds like water being poured. and the faster i drive faster the water sound is. i don't have any coolant leaks, changed my radiator recently(it was making the sound before and after the radiator change)new radiator upper hose, and new thermostat and water pump. what can be causing this water pouring sound?
Thanks in advance, Jason --------------------  |

Take your radiator cap off, then start the car and let it warm up to operating temperature. The thermastat will open. (It is possible that a little bit will spill out on it's own when the car is warming up,,,and that's fine) If there is any air in the system, you will see the coolant level drop. Just fill it to the top and put the cap back on.
