I Can Hear the Ocean

Hey y'all,

I drive a 2003 Baja.  Some mornings when I make my first couple of turns
can hear water sloshing around.  It sounds like it's coming from behind th
dashboard, perhaps somewhere between the center console and the glove box.
It does seem to go away after a few minutes of driving.

Anyone know what this might be?  I'm thinking it might be as simple as
clogged drain somewhere.  If that's what it is, can I just use a can o
compressed air to clear it?  If so, where could I find the drain outlet?

Thanks,

  -- SU

Low radiator water level. Keep an eye on it as it's an early sign of a
leaking head gasket.

There is a drain tube for A/C condensation. They can sometimes be
clogged with fungus or insect nests or ??? Probably need to look for it
from underneath the car.

Yes, that was exactly what happened to my Jeep. Clearing the clog
stopped the sound. And it also stopped some dripping from the A/C

I was thinking it was probably the AC drain I just haven't crawled unde
the car to try to find it yet.  The suggestion that it might be a leakin
head gasket (again) is a rather disturbing prospect though.  I'll be o
the lookout. Thanks for feedback
