Hey, when I shut my car off after some driving theres a kind of gurgling sound coming from the area where the oil filter is. It does it for about 30-45 seconds after shutting the car off and then just stops. Theres nothing leaking and no bubbles in the oil or antifreeze, any ideas what it could be?

 

My car used to do that when the coolant level got low.

 

From what you explained it sounds like your coolant is boiling. There are water passages that pass all over the motor, but the specific spot you explained is where the water temp sensor is....
What does your temp gauge say?

 

The coolant guage goes up to about 1/3rd of the gauge and sits there.

 

More than likely, you may have a pinhole in the coolant hose that goes from under the oil filter to the firewall. Are you loosing any coolant over time.. If its small, it may not drip at all..

check that hose.. if its all bloated after the clamp on the engine block.. replace it.. .its a common fail item...
