Water in dash
Lately when I am under hard acceleration I can hear what sounds like water somewhere in the dash or that area.
If I just cruise around I'll never hear it.
Could there be something else causing this? I really don't want to start ripping the whole dash apart for something so vague.

Does it sound like water sloshing in a chamber? Or like water running or draining through pipes?
You shouldn't be hearing water in the heater core unless you have air in the system.
Where do you live? does it rain a lot? Do you wash it often?
Maybe water is caught in the vent/cowling area between the hood & windshield. There are drains there that could be clogged.
Maybe a water bottle under the seat?
Good luck,
Paul

More like something small inside a box rolling backwards for a very short period.

Yah doing some reading and rattling from this area would be something loose externally.

It does have a tendency to rain a bit where I am and no I don't wash it that often

Hmm will have to find these.

Ok so.. I discovered this will do it even when I'm sitting still...
And I am losing coolant.. I'm not sure how much to be exact but it does go down. So I either have a leak somewhere .. or something worse.
No white smoke out the tail pipe = good sign.
But haven't pulled the plugs or checked the oil yet.
