so today after driving my civic si 2006 for a bit i was waiting in line for a car wash and after about 15 min of idling my car would make like a water squirting out noise or something like that very hard to describe only made it twice and then i switched it off for a bit in line in worry that something might happen and i would hold up the line, but then after i restarted it got the wash idled at red lights and idled for around 5 min at home it did not make that noise, i recently bought the car and it has a valve cover breather filter on it my guess was that it might be making a noise releasing pressure but iam not sure so am gonna ask you folk on ur opinion

The valve cover breather would not make a noise like that. Was the A/C on? Sometime it can make noises. Are the coolant levels okay?

havent checked the coolant level will do that before driving today but car does not overheat or anything, AC was not on but when i checked below the car after a short drive it was leaking water idk why since it is winter here in canada and i only had the heat on so yea dont know the root cause yet

If the defrost is on the compressor will still run.

well i guess i found it, the car had an engine swap done to it right so there's no radiator coolant expansion tank lmao i think that's what was squirting yesterday and today after my drive i saw the coolant on the subframe, also i think i have an oil leak somewhere so that's great smh

That would do it. Coolant expands a bit when warmed up. Sitting in the drivethru got engine nice and warm causing it to spill out. I would get that fixed soon.

How serious is the leak? Enough to leave a puddle on the ground?

yea gonna get one from the junkyard tomorrow and then do a coolant swap,

saw a few drips when i came back from my drive today, if they dry up itll be water i guess if not it could be coolant too since i had it spray onto my subframe and stuff
