I checked the carpet under the passenger glove box, doesn't seem like the heater core is leaking.

I have had these symptons also. People told me water seals(o ring)
I was simple as changing ur caps on the ast and filler neck
Check all your lines for leaks. Is the air in the system tryin to get out

I attached this thing to my filler neck http://www.drivewerks.com/catalog/Sh...CAT591_pg2.htm, then I let the the car idle with heater on until it reached 82deg celsius, there was no bubble.

I too have noticed that sound in my 93 touring. I had the engine rebuilt in the summer and did not notice it. Now that I think about it the sound did start appearing when cold weather hit. Engine has less than 3000 miles and I have to add coolant (1 cup or so) every couple of weeks. Hope rings aren't going.
