The Sound of Oil
Is it normal to hear (at idle) the sound of oil sloshing/coursing through the oil lines up to the front oil cooler? My oil lines do run through the body. Of course I don't hear it at speed (I can;t hear anything but the engine at speed) but I definietly hear it at idle with the top on.
Anyone else ever hear this?

I've heard it too in my SC, sitting at traffic lights. I figured it was normal.

I've heard that sound too and thought that oil was pouring out into the street and then I remembered the oil lines to the front cooler....

yeah, it is a little weird to hear the oil gurgling around the perimeter of the car. Think of it as good Feng Shui

When I first got my car I could hear oil gurgling through the lines at idle. I found a pinched line, fixed it and the sound went away.
