I have a 2002 Grand Am GT1 and after driving for awhile maybe half in hour, then shutting my car off i hear like my fluids making a boiling noise or something like that. It sounds like when your boiling water in a pot. Does anyone know what can be causing that problem

Thanks.

It's normal, it's just the fluids boiling. Don't know exactly what fluids but my guess would be the radiator.

Yup, does it all the time. It's more noticable in the summer time and when I drive it rough.

Sometimes I get a chunk of snow or something lodged under the car, touching the exhaust system or even something dripping on the brake rotors or other hot areas of the car. I get a boiling sound from that. Loud enough to hear, and the first few times you hear it, it makes you wonder. Could be this.

mine does that all the time, but its more like a ticking/taping sound..i think its more of metal expanding and contracting on the exhaust somewere
