water squirking/weird noise

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?

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?
