Weird Noise :( HELLLLLLLLP
Ok, every once in a while (it has happened twice so far), I'll start her up and it sounds like their is steam leaking out. It's not a high pitch sound, more of a hissing. It gets louder and more obnoxious when i get on the throttle, even in park. My first though was that it was an exhaust leak, since it makes the sound when i get on the gas and even when im not moving. But then it went away. It came back about a week later and I haven't taken her out today to see if it's still there. Any ideas as to what it could be? Thanks

Do it with hood open and have someone listen inside engine compartment ... if its a hose or line, they should be able to pinpoint it .. or at least verify it is not from the engine.
