Behind the radio(dash im assuming) I hear what I can only descrbe at what water sounds like when its going through a tube. Now, my rad hose blew off two weeks ago while I was driving (taking a chunk of the rad outlet with it i might add) I had to bleed it twice then I was on my way. Im not sure if there is any corelation but I can say I wasnt hearing it before then. Even with that I dont hear it everytime I turn my car off. This doesnt sound good but so I figured I'd ask.

Where is it coming from? Roughly the sound, what area of the car. Maybe there is still air in the system.

It sounds like it coming directly from behind the a/c trim

Coolant bubblen in the heater core. Jack the fornt of the car up real high turn heat on 4 and defrost take out thee bleeder screw and proceed to bleed the system

I bled it by simply running the car for 5 minutes with the bleeder screw off. I neglected to jack the car up. I'll be doing that then, thanks a lot.

are you running a/c? in my old truck the a/c always made a water trickling noise after i used it for a while.
Is it me or do you have alot of problems with your 240?

Yes I do, perhaps its more apparent in my case as I have no previous experience with fixing cars so I ask a lot of questions on here.
are you running a/c?
Yes but it wasn't doing this before, It'll be fixed promptly though.

You need to bleed the hell out of the system. Letting it run for 5 min with the screw off is not enough. Jack the front as high as you can get it, invest in one of these:
Lisle LIS22150 Coolant Funnel w/ Radiator Fill Adapters LIS22150 | Cooling System Service (http://www.denlorstools.com/home/dt1/page_2420_36)
and let the car run with the defrost on hot as hot as you can get it and keep it running until ALL the air is out.
